Rod Carew turns 77 today.
Now that Roberto Alomar has disgraced himself, I think Carew is my favourite player ever. His batting stance was so unique, and his career box is a thing of beauty. He flirted with .400 deep into the summer three or four times when I was a teenager, most notably in 1977. One of my favourite SI covers ever, and the accompanying piece was also great.

In 1950, Vin Scully called his first game in the booth in Philly (vs. Brooklyn).
The only Dodger to score: Jackie Robinson.
