Good luck with the sale,

Doug, I agree, I think the writing is pretty cool, documenting the day.

He said he lined out to center that day and was quite proud of that. The look of awe on his face as he recalled the day was awesome. He talked about Koufax the way a jazz musician might describe Miles Davis. It was a very cool experience. Good luck with the sale. I wish I had the funds.

Browne and Don Young both made their MLB debut that day. Browne was so new that his name was misspelled on the Cubs dugout line-up card that I have from that game (spelled as Brown). It should be noted that while there were 2 rookies making their debut that day, there were also 3 future HOFers in the line-up (Wlliams, Santo, and Banks).
