Roy Sievers

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.

I can remember seeing him on Home Run Derby.

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.
