When I was a kid my dad would take me to white sox games and he’d always stop by moose standing at the inner edge of the concourse somewhere. It was always the same section. Every time I didnt get an autograph from any players pregame my dad took me straight to him and he signed me a ball every time. I have like 7 Moose Skowron signed baseballs in perfect cursive because he wasn’t a fan of how illegible everyone’s signatures were nowadays. Really nice guy.
Skowron, Maris, Mantle, and Berra were taking batting practice, before the first game 1961 World Series, and someone from the Reds said after the game, "watching them warm up, and hitting the ball continuously out of the park scared the hell out of us. Yes, they were hard to hold down.There was no combination better,well Ruth&Gehrig, than the M&M boys.
Moose told me he wish he had a mechanical hand holding ball an sign hurt his arthritis in later years A chi sox Ambassador with RonKittle king of the roofers at sox park he hit 7 both bedt guys I ever met Bill S RIP with MLB Angels in heaven with u dodgers yankees chi sox I miss u gorever all talks we had at ohare AAL to ur card shows an signings the best❤
The Yankees traded Moose to the Dodgers after the 62 season to make room for Joe Pepitone...Peppi always ragged Moose that he was going to get his job...in the 63 series Moose hit 385 with an HR... Joe made a costly error in the 7th inming of game 4 to help the Dodgers sweep the Yankees...Moose got final revenge by making the final put out on Hector Lopez....Moose has 5 WS rings..4 with the Yankees..Joe has no rings..just a few good years but he never compared to Moose in over all performance...
Joe Pepitone couldn't compare to Moose who played on the Yankee team with Mantle, Maris, Berra and the rest of the great Yankee teams of the late 50's and early 60's.
Why do they get the family name wrong it’s pronounced skov-ron and spelt Skowron. I might be related because my names Michael Skowron II named after my father, for more info go on Facebook and search for Michael Skowron II not Michael Skowron.
Actually not sure of the spelling but his last name was act Skovronski. Only reason why I know was Bill is my cousin. Bill’s father was my great grandfather’s first cousin.
Moose was our guest speaker in 2000 at our NJ Electrical Contractors Christmas luncheon. He was a regular guy, nothing phony about him. RIP Moose!

Mantle said he was a great underrated fielding first baseman!
A great man! Class all the way. Overlooked. Good as an first baseman in the 50's.A winner if there ever was one.
Good job with the use of photos concerning the historonics.
One of my earliest baseball memories - the Yankees trading Skowron to the
Dodgers for Stan Williams. Joe Pepitpne took over at first base.

RIP Joe Pepitone
I met him at a White Sox game against the yankees in a suite.

He played in eight WORLD SERIES...not eight world series games....kind of a big difference
Yes indeed he was a great Yankee...that is, until along came a guy named JOE PEPITONE
