The player who got the biggest hand is Stan Musial, who was beloved everywhere. The second -biggest hand goes to pitcher Camilo Pascual of the Twins, who had been with the original Senators.

Don Drysdale was 15-4 at the All Star break in 1962! That’s amazing! I’m a baseball history nut and I was blown away during the player introductions by the names of future hall of famers. It was really cool to see JFK throw out the first ball ( three months prior to the Cuban Missile Crisis). Having just turned 60 I would’ve been seven months old at the time this game took place.

The team stunk though and I hated that those losers played at Los Angeles Dodgers Stadium between 1962 ~ 1965! My team was The Los Angeles Dodgers and Sandy Koufax and Maury Wills are my Major League Baseball idols! I've been lobbying the Major League Baseball Writers to finally induct MAURICE MORNING "MAURY" WILLS into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1966 they finally left to play in Anaheim and were given the ridiculous name "California" Angels! They represented the whole State of California!? They are now called ~ The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim? What a damned buffoon the owner is giving them that absurd name! That team has no class! I hated every expansion since 1961! AMERICAN LEAGUE - 1961 EXPANSION ~ Washington Senators to Minneapolis, become - Minnesota Twins ~ another silly name "Twins"? New Franchises: Washington Senators ~ New team and same loser tradition! Los Angeles Angels ~ The "Angels" ,another silly name, have been an albatross being associated with the City of Los Angeles! What losers! NATIONAL LEAGUE EXPANSION ~ 1962 ~ New Franchises: New York Mets ~ They just kept coming up with stupid names "Mets"? Another loser franchise! The only reason they won in1969 was the 1969 Expansion which introduced the dreadful 5 Game Playoffs. Houston Colt .45s NATIONAL LEAGUE ~ 1965 Houston Colt .45s become Astros. AMERICAN ~ NATIONAL LEAGUE ~ 1966 Milwaukee Braves to Atlanta become Atlanta Braves. AMERICAN LEAGUE ~ 1968 Kansas City Athletics to Oakland and become Oakland Athletics. AMERICAN LEAGUE EXPANSION ~ 1969 ~ DIVISIONAL PLAY ~ UGH! New Franchises: Kansas City Royals Seattle Pilots ~ This team was so bad they were filed for bankruptcy at the end of the season! In 1970 they moved to Milwaukee and became The Milwaukee Brewers. NATIONAL LEAGUE EXPANSION ~ 1969 ~ DIVISIONAL PLAY ~ UGH! New Franchises: San Diego Padres ~ Another loser of a team. Montreal Expos ~ Major League Baseball goes International! Ugh! Major League Baseball is an American sport!

Wow - just found this - I was there as well as the 1969 game played there. They used to play 2 games a year for a while. I also still have the 1969 program. I can't believe the players that were there - like Mays and Mantle and Maris and Roberto Clemente and my hero Camilo Pasqual. I met Mickey Vernon years later at a Nationals game. I think the game was played there that year because it was the first year the stadium opened for baseball. The expansion Senators played their first year, 1961, in Griffith as DC stadium was being built and then the Redskins played there before the Senators moved to the new stadium. The 1969 was played there as part of the baseball centennial celebration. We (American League) lost 3-1 in 1962. I loved that place and now, this year, they are going to take it down.

Clemente had a habit of looking bad on a pitch early in the count on purpose, knowing that a pitcher would remember and try the same pitch later in the count. Between 1962 and 1972 he had the highest batting avg in baseball...for good reason, very smart hitter

Can of course, like any semi-serious fan recall one of Mel Allen's last gigs doing "this week in baseball" (now this week's TWIB notes). Double check it, but Mel did refer to, early on, D. C. Stadium as "metropolitan stadium." Plenty of trivia about this park namely, 1)opened for washington Redskins 1961, 2)was home field for George Washington Colonials football until school dropped program after '66 season? Saw my first college football game here, GW vs. West Virginia, Sept.? 1964. Senators started playing here April 1962. Next All-Star game 1969 (MVP Willie McCovey; 2 Hrs), Cracker Jack All-Star game 1982, Luke Appling homer (fences brought in for old-timers, however. Hondo homered in '69 game to delight of hometown crowd!!

She also says that the Native people laugh at the whites and joke "What name are those whites going to call us this year? Natives, First Nations, Aboriginals? They have to run out of names sometime"
