Very nice. I had no clue a "gray variation" even existed. Campy seems very under-appreciated these days, especially for a guy who won 3 MVP's. Nothing against him because he's one of my heroes, but all anyone ever wants to talk about these days in relation to the Brooklyn Dodgers is Jackie Robinson, it seems. Jackie made Campy's path possible - but at least once you got closer to the mid-1950's - it was Roy that was doing a heckuva lot more damage at the plate for the Dodgers in comparison to Jackie.
