Is it Billy Martin? honestly, I don't know...it's why I posted it..it's 1956...Don Larsen's perfect game...Isuppose we could look up the line up; but Clipper would think we were cheating...I'll pray for divine intervention or some sort of vision...we should be able to figure it out by process of elimination...I know it's not Bobby Richardson or Danny McDevitt (HAH!)...you are probably right...you are pretty much always right...I think I'm going to cheat and look it up just to be sure...do you suppose Clipper is going to really lay into me for posting something I didn't know the answer to?...

I think it is Martin. I'm pretty much always right!!!! HA! Tell that to the Mrs and the girls. As for clip laying into you, he is very understanding and I am sure he will be kind. However, if he is not ..... who are you and why are you talking/writing to me? John 3:16 * Ephesians 2:8-9 * Romans 10:9-10 * John 14:3-6 * Romans 5:8

There were games that the old Yankee Stadium had crowds of 72,00 fans before the 1937 Remodeling.
