I sat in the row behind the Braves' bullpen in St. Louis one night in 1970 and talked with my childhood friend Gary Neibauer, Gerry Priddy, and Wilhelm. When Hoyt got up in the 8th, Gary asked me "you know how old he is?" I could have guessed and been close, but said "no, how old?" Gary said "exactly the same age as my Dad"
