Damn.....Whitey Ford, Bob Gibson, and Tom Seaver all within two months of each other...that's one helluva staff G-D is putting together in the Heavenly League.

Another of the players I saw when I was a kid is gone.
On a personal note, I met him in Copoperstown in 2011. He had a beer in one hand and shook hands with fans with the other. He was not signing autographs, but I did shake his hand.
