I'd have to agree. I always wondered how he kept his hat on. I remember watching him play against the Twins in the '70s. He was fun. He responded to us kids sitting out in left field. He'd wave, laugh and just have a good time. He'd chase the pigeons around on the field. It was amazing that he actually caught any fly balls since he didn't seem to pay very much attention to what was going on during the game.

Mike

has my vote for best hair of the 70s.

Be sure to read Bruce's final sentence. Very ironic.

BTW, if you don't read Bruce Markusen, you're missing some good stuff. He works for the BB hall of fame and has written some GREAT books.

Since I have no idea how to post pics...someone should post O Gamble's card from the 1975 Topps set where he is in batting stance with the fro 3' out the sides. Too funny!

Here you go
