Thanks! Will print that off and take it to golf next week. I would have seen your friend's nephew...I assume Hawaii went on to win? They had a big lead when I left.

Yeah, he bats 4th or 6th depending on who's pitching.
Forgot to mention that he stole home as well:

I was thinking about the guy from golf, and he has to have that year wrong. If he played in '52 as a 12-year-old, he'd be 79. I golfed with him yesterday--besides the fact that he didn't look 79 (maybe mid-'60s), and besides the fact that he scored well (~40 for 9), he was hitting the ball 200+ off the tee. 79-year-olds don't do that.
