I know! Right? There’s been several attempts to change the historical narrative on the internet that have been, shall we say, laid to rest by the WBM. I suspect this will be another government funded entity soon for the dust-bin.

I’m glad I got to see him play in the first major league game I was able to attend. He really was a GOAT.

He was in the only games I ever saw. A double header on July 4 in 1983.
