(un)fortunately not old enough to have seen most of the 60's giants of baseball in person-except at the tail end for a few-but devoured the local (and substantial) library for every
baseball bio/book they had. grew up reading about kaline. koufax. gibson. clemente. mantle. flood. the sf willies. drysdale. marichal. yaz. frank robinson. brock. killebrew.
elston howard. freehan. banks. mclain. brooks robinson. wills. santo. ford. aaron. if i could set the time machine and head back for a week (preferably two) from this era...if i hadda
pick a year...prob 1965 or 1966, i would catch a baseball game every day. what a great era of talent and players.
