Don’t forget, that LaCocks dad was Peter Marshall, of Hollywood Squares fame.
The late, great Ernie Johnson used to reminded us on the Braves network of that, when he could. Also, that Mike Lumm was from Honolulu.
That was my personal heyday of baseball.
Sidenote. Born and grew up in Tampa. Home to the Reds spring training at Al Lopez Field. I saw them all. Rose, Bench, Concepcion. Billingsly, Geromino, Morgan, Perez and Sparky and all those guys. I did not know what I was witnessing at the time.
Today, I understand. Some of the best players ever.
I saw On tv or in person, Clemente, Hank, Mays and everyone from 72 on. Carlton’s season, greatest ever. Some many great players I got to see.
I appreciate it now. Then it was the norm.
Ok...done.
