And dozens of others. This year's lucky number 12 belongs to Tyler Wade. A minor leaguer 4life.

These last two games against the Rangers pin pointed good pitching situations for us. 15 runs scored and 2 allowed. That's championship caliber..

No disrespect to "the man nobody knew".
Bill Dickey.

I have never been sure why Bill Dickey received that nickname noted above.

Of course I wasn't even a gleam in my daddy's eye when Bill Dickey played. But I sure as hell knew who he was was very well when I was a kid. In fact my first two years in Little League.

I used a Bill Dickey model catcher's glove on special occasions. Like when I could afford to drop a couple balls, because it was so outdated it had no real web to speak of.

The Bill Dickey model glove of the 50s/early-mid 60's, was like catching a baseball with a fucking pancake...

The Yogi Berra model catcher's glove was not much better. Instead of a pancake it was like catching a baseball with a waffle a round iron waffle....

Syrup would of been the Pine Tar of its day.; syrup the perfect camouflage for a Pancake Glove, with a pocket big enough only 4A golf ball. The webs on those gloves had a 1 and 1/2 * 2 and 1/2 inch strip of leather, held together across the bridge with leather string. A real joke of a glove for the players of its time.

For that much all notes and gloves of the fthe 4 finger variety were a joke throughout the 50s. It was no easier to use a 4 finger glove than a 3 finger oh, and they both looked almost identical

PS-
When you try on the aforementioned gloves it makes you really appreciate and respect even more, the players who had to wear those hand rags, make a 'mazing catches too.

Of course not, there's no challenge in being healthy...
