1947
I remember a hand shake with Babe Herman because his hand was bigger than my 1st baseman's glove. This came about because my Dad, in the trucking business, moved the Oakland Oak's equipment to the City of San Fernando where they "Spring trained". After my Dad and I unloaded the gear, Casey Stengal signed the freight bill and my Dad introduced me to both Mr. Stengal and Herman. The size of Herman's hand is why I remember.
