<< <i>Love the Beast. Very underrated IMO. I also remember hearing somewhere that Lou Gehrig, who finished 7 HRs shy of 500, lost 7 HRs to rainouts. >>
As I scan my cards in I am reading the info. I am learning a lot. Did not know that about Lou.

He played with the Cubs later in his career- My mother was able to get his autograph probably in the 1944 or 45 season
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
<< <i>Actually, in '32 he hit a right field screen in St. Louis that was not there when Ruth hit 60 in '27 5 times. He also reportedly hit a screen in Cleveland, not there for Ruth in '27, at least 3 times. Add those to the 2 that were rained out and he would have had 68 home runs. WOW! how that would have changed the history of baseball as we know it. Roger Maris who? >>
Wow! Did not know that. At times with parks changing and equipment it does seem like a few players may have not gotten due they deserve.
