Amen, Sparky was a great manager and I'm glad my comment wasn't taken as being insensitive to his passing.

Lemme see, the name Bernie Carbo comes to mind...perhaps Hal McBride too? That was about the era of your PC league roster.

'84 Tigers was Trammel at short, or was that before his time?

No Allan and I grew up in the same hood. Very few people know that he was a bigger star in Basketball (all county first team point guard) at Kearney High then he was in Baseball. He is a few years younger than me.
At any rate I don't recall if Carbo played in the PCL or McBride. It was back in the days when "Gentleman aka Diamond Jim Gentile" was still kicking around the minors.
I got a foul ball off the bat of Cesar Tovar.
Does that name take you home in an AL kind of way?
