GREAT STUFF MR. DUQUE.

MY BIRTH YEAR.

FIRST TIME SEEING THIS.

I love all the enthusiasm Mantle shows in this ad. Just rarin' to go.

Groat's average dropped 50 points in 1961, but he bounced back. Both he and Mathews were excellent hitters, but Eddie had home run power where Groat had doubles power. Both very good fielders.

By the by, can we write in votes on the all-time opponents team?

I'd go for Jimmie Foxx at first.

Groat was quite an athlete. I believe he was an All American basketball player for Duke.

I LOVE TRYING TO REMEMBER ALL OUR ALL-TIME OPPONENTS, HOSS.

THE GUYS THAT HURT US THE MOST OVER THE YEARS, JUST STICK IN MY CRAW.

They do, ALL-CAPS, they sure do!

I respect most of them...but not Big Fraudi, or any of the other juicers.

AGREED 100% ON PAPI, HOSS.

THAT ROTTEN MANNY TOO. (OH, HOW HE DESTROYED US TOO).

THOSE 2 WOULD HAVE TO BE IN THE TOP 10, MAYBE BOTH IN THE TOP 5 OF YANKEE KILLERS.

ALL UNDER FALSE PRETENSES.

LETS CUT THEM OUT OF OUR LIST!
