As I've said before, a small part of my youth disappears forever when someone of this stature (for me) passes on. I still have the newspaper clipping when he was traded to the Mets for Jorgensen, Singleton, and Foli.
Thanks for the childhood memories, Mr. Staub.

Yes alot of memories , If you notice in the upper leftside of my picture you will see the diving board of the Jarry Park swimming pool , I use to watch games from that diving board when I was not even ten yet , If I remember right Rusty and Willie stargell are the only players to hit a homerun into the pool.
