Bang or Whimper ?

Back from trip and unfortunately stayed at a motel in Ankeny which carried the game. And ,yes, I did stay up past my bedtime. At least I see the "bangs" gained a qualified vote and obviously may still pick up some more if we cou7ld squeak out one of the next two. Time to retire Raleigh who is associated in my mind with cigarettes anyway and go back to baseball since spring training is now gaining momentum like a big train.

 

Walter Johnson it is, then...

 

I found the picture that Jimmy used.

By the way, I remember listening to the radio Game of the Day (yes, there used to be such a thing) when Walt Alston managed one of my only favorite teams who were not from Boston. I still take pleasure in calling up their names: catcher, Roy Campanella; 1base, Gil Hodges; 2base, Jackie Robinson or Junior Gilliam; ss, PeeWee Reese; 3base, Billy Cox: RF, Carl Furillo; cf, Duke Snider; lf Andy Pafko; Pitchers, Joe Black, Don Newcomb; relief Clem Labine. Spring must be in the air!
