^^^^^ IIRC, his teammates called him "Salty", because of what his name spelled.

Yeah, the '68 series was a seven-game squeaker, IIRC, they came back from being down 3 games to 1. They also won the division in '72, and an in-law relative of mine worked for the team organization at the time. She got me a baseball autographed by ALL of them, Kaline, Norm Cash, etc. Alas, even in storage out of the light, it has faded considerably.
