I'm really proud of my wife's recall of some great names. Yes, she's married to a former baseball beat writer as we as longtime collector and baseball history addict/SABR member, but she retained some great names after going through the (she said) obvious of Babe, Cobb, Mantle, DiMaggio, Gehrig, Willie Mays, Aaron, Jackie, Pee Wee Reese (she enjoyed"42"), Pete Rose... then rattled off...
Somebody Chapman and Carl Mays (she loved The Pitch That Killed)
Shoeless Joe
Eddie Cicotte (she wants them in the Hall)
Brummer, the catcher who stole home for the Cardinals
Stan Musial
Lou Brock
Joe Torre
Whitey Herzog
Red Schoendienst
Eric Davis
that jerk Bonds (yup, wife of a guy who covered him)
Mark McGwire
Mike Matheny
She wanted to keep going when I told her how well some other wives did!
