Yeah, those late 70s Twins were a memorable bunch. Bombo Rivera, Hosken Powell, Willie Norwood, Butch Wynegar, et al
Ron Jackson was the first baseman who had the nickname "Papa Jack". Then Pioneer Press columnist Patrick Reusse drew the ire of Jackson by calling him "Papa Up."
Memories? My dad, brother and I were at Busch Stadium for a Cardinals-Mets game late one summer a long, long time ago when the announcer said, "Now entering the game and making his major league debut...Bake McBride!"
