love this series. ive recently decided to build the set, and picked up the kaline last week with koufax and clemente (in low grades), still need to go back and watch most of your prior vids in the series!
Glad to see the series is back; looks like you're going the distance! As always, fascinating stories and facts: Nixon forges signatures for the Red Sox, McDevitt unknowingly starts the last game the Dodgers will ever play at Ebbets Field, Humberto Robinson defies a skunky businessman by turning down A $1,500 bribe....once again, you're doing a great service to these forgotten players and their careers, which were often fascinating, even if their stats were not. My dad, brother and I saw Al Kaline at Comiskey Park that Saturday game in September, 1959, one of the highlights of that day. Since then, every time I come across the chemical term "alkaline" I recall how my father used it to intentionally mix it up with Al Kaline's name. His big hit in the '68 World Series must have been epic; too bad MLB wouldn't look the other way and slip him ONE MORE home run to make 400 for his great career.
Thak you for bringing this series to us. Always cool to see these old cards.
You're welcome!
Great summaries!
@@jlbaseballcards thanks!
