Oldie, but a Goudey

[RCMcKenzie]

That's great, Ted. I started in Center my freshman year for the JV. I made Varsity as a sophomore, and rode the bench for the next 3 years. I once faced future major-leaguer, Pat Combs, and worked a walk. His career fizzled for too many walks. Back then, I was known as "Red", but the nickname didn't stick. If I ran into any old teammates today, they would only know me as "Red".

Great pictures, Rob

My classmates called me "Greek". Our H.S. was all male, and there were some "tough" dudes there. Most every guy was given an ethnic nickname of sorts.


Very interesting looking Cuyler. Here's my normal looking Ki-Ki

Ted, my life connection with this set was with Babe Herman. In 1946 or 47 the Oakland Acorns were spring training in the City of San Fernando. Babe and I shook hands. I was in Little League at the time and remember it because his hand was larger than my 1st basemans glove. Casey Stengal was the Acorn's manager at that time and Mr. Herman was a coach.

My Dad who was in the Trucking Business had the contract to move the A's
equipment from Oakland to SF and I helped unload the truck at the Ball Park.
That is where I met him. I was 11 years old.

I like this board a lot, but I don’t post much. I pick up items from the B/S/T every once in a while. Speaking of the B/S/T, I got this Goudey goodie there a few years ago.
