Brooks. Boog. Belanger. Johnson. I watched 'em and they were GREAT. Some good baseball memories, especially against the Big Red Machine.

The "Human Vaccuum Cleaner". What a great ball player and human being. I had the pleasure of having dinner with him when I was about 15 during a father and son night at a Masonic Lodge. He showed up to the dinner wearing camo and rubber hunting boots, he had just been goose hunting.
