Only for a short period Maury Wills was the Giant killer. The little gnat would somehow get to first and then lookout. With the Giants two up and nine to play in 1959 the Dodgers came to Seals Stadium with young Maury and he stole the store. Giants never recovered as they went to Chicago and were stoned by George Altman. LA and Milwaukee tied and the Dodgers won the playoff and beat the no hit Chisox in six games.

Bobbb is correct about Tommy Davis. A cinch HOFer but suffered the worst ankle break in the history of baseball. Played on for years, still hit, but was a shadow of what he once was.

Stat Man Mick. A Cuban refugee CBS cameraman took me to a place for a Cuban sandwich and horsemeat empanadas just outside of Miami years ago. He was the guy kidnapped by the Revolutionary Guard in the first Iraq war. Fantastic food and music and one of the all-time great looking MILF waitresses in the world. Staggered back to the hotel.

Brings up another story. Shooting a Films piece with the Bucs two decades ago we were told to go to Lucius Selmon's BBQ. Asked directions and were vectored to a scary neighborhood where we landed at Selmon's. Turned out it was DEWEY Selmon's, a brother D lineman who had a cup of coffee in the NFL. Wonderful. Next night to Lucious' place, classy, comfortable but the food just OK. Love the Tampa area.
