World Series Game 7, two out, bottom of the ninth, World Series on the line, two years apart...

[Crazy Pete]

And Ralph Terry was the pitcher both times.
Gave up Mazerowski’s Homerun in 1960.

Pitching a shutout in the year he led MLB in wins (1962), he gave up a 2 out double to Willie Mays. Roger Maris made a great defensive play him throw to keep the tying run on third. Then Willie McCovey hit a line drive scorcher right to Bobby Richardson.

As a very young New Yorker from Pelham I watched both of those.

Ralph Terry died today at 86.


The aforementioned Willie Mays and Bobby Richardson are still alive but almost everyone else is dead.
I know Tony Kubek is still alive, but probably only a very few others

Don't remember Tony Kubek as a player but I remember him as the straightman for Joe Garagiola on Saturday afternoon baseball telecasts.

Good news for ComptrBob and Viejo Dinosaur: Tony Kubek is alive and well at age 86.

Better news for ComptrBob and Viejo Dinosaur: Sister Jean of Loyola University Chicago basketball fame is still alive at 102.

Loyola should have had Sister Jean shoot free throws for them…last stat I saw was 1-11 from the charity stripe…I’m sure that Bob and I could go at least 50% or better from the line

I would have a surrogate (like JK or David Dineen) shoot mine. If I had to, I'd shoot 'em underhand. LOL
