    I remember the ‘60 game so vividly. ‘had just walked home from school in the 4th grade and cut on the old black and white a little before the historic ending. Ralph Terry’s name stayed with me prompting me to follow him mainly through the box scores in our home town newspaper. There’s an inspiring lesson in learning what you can when things don’t go your way and keeping your confidence that you’re going to give it your best come what may. It certainly worked for him.

    That was great! Never been to Larned. Drove through Kansas twice and went with my buddy to see his grandson, Payton Tolle, play at Wichita State. He pitched and hit and crushed it going 5-5 with 6 RBI and struck out 10 with 2 hits in 6 innings. Just went to the Red Sox in the 2nd Round. One thing I can say about Kansas is that I've never seen an ugly lady there! Good to learn this story about a fellow Oklahoman, I've never heard it. I knew some guy gave up that HR but never knew who. What an ending! Great job and cards, Doug!
