Singing group? More like Rosie singing and the other three dancing around! Merlin had pretty good steps for a pale face! 😉

It's the pick of players that makes the HF&L thread -- also the 'quality' of how the photos themselves look

nope, Cleon Jones, Ron Swoboda, Tommy Agee etc -- all those names come to mind looking at that Donn Clendenon photo -- that 1 magical year NYM had, unreal -- & Richie! One of the 1st Mets along w/Don Zimmer, Marv Throneberry & the others

the boston-philly early 1980s rivalry was all-the-shit & the real thing -- moses was a rebounding machine, & the Chief was just as good

& those 2 legendary, almost lookalike coaches in that b&w photo -- the Robinson boys -- Jerry Kramer & Fuzzy Thurston leading Jim Taylor on the end sweep, the awesome shot of Cool Papa Bell -- great

did look up online the specific tape-measure #s in Willie Stargell's post -- in this otherwise GFT (google free thread)

Al Simmons -- 1924-44, 307 HR, 1,828 RBI, .334 career BA
