Nice to see McCovey take it over the fence. At least “a few feet higher”. : )

@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

When I first read it I was too young to know specifically what he was grieving about but I figured it was probably a home run ball at the fence.

It wasn’t until about a year ago that I learned that the hit was when the Giants were behind 1-0 in the bottom of the 9th in game 7 of the World Series with runners on second and third. it was a line drive (with McCovey, a line drive could still clear the fence) caught by the second baseman, giving the victory to the hated New York Yankees.

Nice to see him in the lineup.

@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Smart.

About 15 years ago a friend gave me a book on Mickey Cochrane (Mickey Cochrane: The Life of a Baseball Hall of Fame Catcher). Up until then I had never heard of him. So the name caught my eye.

::useless trivia:: Mickey Mantle was named after Mickey Cochrane.

@RuthODay @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

This book refers to him being named after Cochrane. Also a very fun book if you have a dirty mind. 😂
