And Tom Paciorek.

love it…still have my Nellie Fox baseball card I pull out every now and then, he’d choke half way up that thick barrel bat, great memories.

dang, one guy I forgot about was Jesus Alou…loved that guy, my Dad called him ‘chicken neck’ because of his pre-at bat ritual of getting loose to hit.

Spiers makes the list if he anticipates the fan that jumped him in Milwaukee and kicks the crap out of him. Hampton had to bail him out of that one.

anyone else like Art Howe? loved that guy…also, Terry Puhl.

Stubbs is my #12, right behind Joe Slusarski.

It’s not much of a list if it doesn’t have Joe “Shoes” Pittman, Carl Everett and Operation Shutdown Bell on it.

And, just for a minute, Donn Clendenon.

‘Fred Flinstone’, Fred Gladding was another guy that brings back memories.
