Tommie Agee was named Rookie of The Year. Three seasons later he was a member of the Miracle Mets of 1969. They are also compared to Sandy Amaros' incredible fielding feats in the Fall Classic.
Incredible baseball instincts, a marvel to behold.
Those two grabs stopped Baltimore from getting back in the game. Thirty-five years to the day after being named Rookie of The Year, baseball great Tommie Agee died of an apparent heart attack in an elevator in New York. As any reader of this page knows, I am a die-hard Yankee fan. Also a fan of the great game of Baseball. Unlike some who feel to be a fan of one New York team one must possess great animus for the other, I don't hate the Mets.
