Hall of Famer Raymond Berry has passed away at age 93. He was not fast; his eyesight was not especially good and yet he became one of the greatest wide receivers of all-time! He and @Colts quarterback Johnny Unitas were incredible together! RIP @sigg20 @AndyFurmanFSR

Trust me, when you’re planning to record Electric Avenue in 1983 on a tape recorder made in 1971 that’s sitting next to an AM radio made in 1966, you’re gonna want the cheapest cassette possible.

The great Jerry West born OTD in 1938. He wasn't known as "Mr. Clutch" for nothing! Not only was he a great scorer, but he also was a terrific defensive player! @sigg20 @AndyFurmanFSR

May 23, 1952 - As the #Dodgers take on the #Phillies at Shibe Park, Roy Campanella hits 2 HRs (the 99th & 100th of his career), with a solo-shot in the 2nd and a grand slam in the 3rd, as he drives in all the runs in the Dodgers 5-1 victory.

After 17 year old Johnny Antonelli graduated from Jefferson High School, his Dad rented the Rochester Red Wings ballpark, 'Silver Stadium', and had his son, in front of scouts from several Major League teams, pitch to a semipro baseball team.
Antonelli, who had thrown five no-hitters in his high school senior year, mowed down 17 batters, no-hit the team, and was awarded the largest signing bonus in baseball history, when he signed with the Braves for $52,000 in 1948.
Braves Johnny Sain, the team’s gentlemanly, mild-mannered ace, made $21,000 that year, considerably less than Antonelli’s bonus and was so upset about the discrepancy between himself, a 20-game winner and Antonelli without a big league appearance, that Sain threatened to walk out on his contract.
"I meant it," Sain said later on.
"I was going to walk away from the whole thing."
Johnny Antonelli`s own teammates chose NOT to award him a share of of the World Series gate receipts that season.
Antonelli later became a six-time National League All-Star, a two-time 20-game-winner, and an important member of the 1954 World Series Champion Giants pitching staff.
Johnny Antonelli lost the last game the New York Giants played at the Polo Grounds.

Ya know what IS "forgettable," Tom? I had at least TEN of these 1960 Mantles when they came out - and got rid of them all over the years. Just checked: a 1960 Mantle, if it's in great condition (mine were), now goes for 2 grand - & UP!
