With the A.L. expanding to include the Angels and the second Senators team, offense jumped all over. Norm Cash and Jim Gentile also blew up that season.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01334533396646438555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-88686252886553949572010-01-16T10:36:13.857-05:002010-01-16T10:36:13.857-05:00What was in the water in N.Y. in '61?

My buddy and I would walk by there every day on our way home from school and would peer in the windows hoping to catch a glimpse of him. One day his secretary waved us inside and asked us our names. A few days later she did it again and gave us autographed photos he had inscribed to us. Mine is packed away with most of the rest of my memorabilia. We never actually got to see Ellie.Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.com
