r u kiddin' Lee -- to be able to tell your grandchildren you ended your career wearing the fabled Celtics green?? 😮 😛 hehe

A treasure -- "Al" Schoendienst -- awesome
I see some of the icons for posting photos, not the img on right -- am slow on this stuff -- saw the other steps right-clicking etc. -- I'll get there

good one of Walt Garrison too -- had forgotten about Walt -- he used to do tobacco-chew commercials IIRC -- him, the Browns' Leroy Kelly, runners like Chuck Mercein & Donny Anderson for GB, Bill Brown for the Vikes, Oakland's Hewritt Dixon -- greats 1 & all getting their due, bomb...

A great back for 5 years; and perhaps the prototype for the small scat back who doesn't carry 20 times per game but catches/runs/kick returns

I do remember that he woore pantyhose; not that there's anything wrong with it.

Here is a better picture of Al...

I still had the baseball he hit for the Cardinals that I caught a Shea in 1969. His .363 season in 1971 was truly amazing cause you timed him in the 100 yd dash using a sundial. Not quite like when Ted Williams hit .388 at the age of 39 but not far off. Rickey Henderson would have hit .420 if he ran out Joe's hits

You could make an argument that Torre should be in the HOF as a player, regardless of being a manager.

More than his batting title in 1961 I will always remember Norm for:

When Norm Cash took a table leg to the plate for the Detroit Tigers

By Bill Dow – November 1, 2011
Posted in: Bill Dow, Detroit Tigers, Norm Cash

Norm Cash 1973 Nolan Ryan no-hitter Detroit Tigers California Angels
Always a joker, Tiger slugger Norm Cash brought this table leg to the plate to face unhittable Nolan Ryan during a 1973 game at Tiger Stadium.

I finally found it!

For years I have been trying to locate either a photo or a video of the most famous prank pulled off by Norm Cash, one of the most popular players ever in Tiger history.

The Norm Cash stories–even just the ones that can be repeated–are endless. Like the time he was trapped between first and second base and he formed a “T’ with his hands to call time-out.

But the most comical and audacious move he ever made occurred on July 15, 1973 at Tiger Stadium when he stepped to the plate as the last hitter to face Nolan Ryan who was trying to complete his second career no hitter after striking out 17 batters.

After striking out three times, as legend has it Stormn’ Norman walked up to the plate with a table leg from the locker room. The plate umpire, Ron Luciano told him he couldn’t use it and Cash responded, “Why not I won’t him anyway” before tossing it aside.
