Day 2
Here’s a couple ERA Leaders...well, nine to be exact. On two cards, so you get your money’s worth as a kid buying packs! Not as cool as a Home Run Leaders, but you would have got Don Drysdale, at least. And as a kid, you would watch him brush back batters and even hit homers. But later, as an adult, you would get to hear him call Kirk Gibson’s homer:
“Gibson a deep sigh, re-gripping the bat, shoulders just shrugged, now goes to the top of the helmet as he always does, steps in with that left foot. Eckersly working out of a stretch, now here’s the 3-2 pitch...and a drive into right field (losing voice) WAY BACK! THIS BALL IS GONE! (followed by two minutes of crowd noise) This crowd will not stop! They can't believe the ending! And this time, Mighty Casey did NOT strike out!!!!”
Still brings chills to the spine!
