Of course I remember them. All you needed was Big Klu, Joe Nuxall, Bob Thurman, Jim Maloney, Johnny Temple, Gus Bell, etc and you could have fielded the team, I watched from the SUN Deck at Crosley Field. Some are gone but I have autographs of your 2 and all the rest. Once I caught 2 home run balls in one day in the Sun Deck. One was hit by a Cincinnati relief pitcher that was pinch hitting, Hal Jeffcoat. The other by Frank Robinson. I think I have autographs of every player that played at Crosley from about 1951 thru 1959 when I joined the Army. I doubt that I missed very many of the opposing teans, also. Alas, I was only getting baseball cards and balls signed in those days.
Next time take a few chips along to the Special Olympics.<g>
