I love your narrative, Val; on Mr. McNeely's Exhibit.
It made me wonder if this was the look, Red Oldham gave the last 3 outs to get; in the 1925 World Series; as his team mates take the lead on Walter Johnson in Game 7. All Red had to do was get 3 future Hall of Famers; Sam Rice, Bucky Harris and Goose Goslin. Mission accomplished.
