I loved Phil Linz. His harmonica playing is given credit for inspiring the '64 Yankees to win the pennant.
He was a bench player and he loved riding the bench for the Yankees. His quote: Play me or keep me!!
Who else has a favorite flake?

Actually I think the bullpin of almost every big league club is full of "flakes" - Have you ever watched to see what those pitchers are doing while sitting around trying to keep awake? Some of them are very creative in a goofy sort of way!

I'll steal some Cards' fans thunder - Game 6 of the 1985 World Series. Denkinger screwed up the call; Orta was out at first.

Steve "psycho" lyons was playing a game sometime in the 1980s when he was with the white sox once slid into first and pulled his pants down to wipe off the dirt, but then realized he was doing so in front of thousands of fans and pulled his pants back up, embarrassed. It was funny.

Lyons pantsing himself was priceless.
