For anyone interested, there is a very nice column by the Washington Posr's Tom Boswell on the death last Monday of Roy Sievers at age 90. Like Boswell, I grew up in Washington and my first boyhood hero was Sievers.

Yes, he was my favorite, too, when he played for the White Sox.

thanks for posting bontomn, love this quote from the article...
During Mr. Sievers’s six-game homer streak, Washington Post sports columnist Bob Addie called him “the hottest thing in town outside of a laundry with no air conditioning.”

When i was a kid I thought Roy Sievers was related to Tom Seaver because my pop always added the S to the Seaver surname.
