I posted these who-knows-when. I cut them out of the Minneapolis Tribune and/or my hometown Fairmont (MN) Daily Sentinel.

Thought someone may enjoy them again:

    kind of cool to see Yogi in the Cardinals locker room after they lost (looks like he had a champagne bath too)...Probably why the Yankees fired him shortly thereafter

    I love the Zoilo Versalles photo. Talk about a one year wonder. Is he the worst player ever to win an MVP award?

    Thanx Mike.

    It was kind of nice to read back about Mantle in '67.

    Feb of '67, I was in Vietnam - not really thinkin about the Mick.

    Good stuff!
    Mike
