^My favorite baseball player ever. Ernie Banks said he was the greatest player of all time and it wasn’t all that close. That can be debated but he was in a very small group of the greatest of the great.

Growing up my favorite team and player was the Pittsburgh Pirates (Forbes Field) and Roberto Clemente & Willie Stargell (Oklahoman) were my favorite players. My best friend was a San Francisco Giants' fan (Willie Mays, Willie McCovey & Juan Marichal).

My favorite team in the American League was the Baltimore Orioles (Frank & Brooks Robinson, Jerry Adair (Oklahoman)

Don't follow baseball like I use too. Do remember the game from the 1960s to the 1980s and the great players Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, Nolan Ryan, Bob Gibson, Johnny Bench*, Mickey Mantle*, Roger Maris . . . Oklahoma (per capita), during those times produced a good share of MLB players.
