Wow. Thanks. lots of great thrills from that team. I was in high school.  Aparicio was an all-time favorite of mine.  I just hated the day they traded him to Baltimore.

I loved that team, naturally Nellie was my all time favorite, attended game 2 of the World Series which was a heartbreaking loss to the Dodgers.

I was there, too. Saw Al Smith's beer bath as a home run sailed into the stands above him.
