And Bill Bradley and Jack Marin was another subplot. Marin was a political conservative, and even then we knew of Bradley's liberalism. Marin was movement on the court at a pace difficult for Bradley to keep. You have been reminded of Tommie Agee's two stunning centerfield catches that turned the World Series for the Miracle Mets. One ball was hit by Elrod Hendricks and one by Paul Blair.
Nothing succeeds like success.
Blair and Hendricks later came to play for the Yankees. They remain two of the most decent people I've met in a clubhouse. The season before he came to the Yankees as a free agent, Reggie Jackson played for the Orioles. He even played some of the time in centerfield. The culinary treat of deep-fried potato skins was invented at the Prime Rib in Baltimore.
