Yep both middle digits still work fine
Horsetrader, yer killing me here!
Just for the record, I liked Templeton and disliked the trade for Ozzie. Didn't take long for Ozzie to win me over. Templeton was a really good player, Ozzie was a winning player.

There was a poster made of him, grabbing his crotch with the caption, “This one’s for you!”

I can't believe he is 70-years-old.
I am with you there, as desperate as I am for a good player.
He was one of the most exciting players I ever saw! There wasn’t anything he couldn’t do on the ball field.
It’s such a shame how he just fell off a cliff.
I was crushed when he was traded. At the time, was my favorite player
I was mad. But got over it.

Unlike the Hernandez trade.

I don’t believe him. Nobody else has confirmed this, including Herzog who was as straight a shooter as there was. Nothing was picked up on the video I linked either. He also claimed he ran to first which is clearly another lie.
