Steve's ground rule double was a shot. What a hard hit ball that just exploded off his bat!
ReplyDeleteSteve has some serious pop for his size. Steve is our youngest player at 62 (March 2, 1958). Ron Ryan is our second youngest at two months older (Jan. 4, 1958). Ken Nebesny is next at 63 (4/24/57).
