oldsox Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Wow. Thanks. lots of great thrills from that team. I was in high school. Aparicio was an all-time favorite of mine. I just hated the day they traded him to Baltimore. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved that team, naturally Nellie was my all time favorite, attended game 2 of the World Series which was a heartbreaking loss to the Dodgers. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there, too. Saw Al Smith's beer bath as a home run sailed into the stands above him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Mite Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Hicks never got much of a chance with the Sox, played a few games in 59 and 60 then was picked by the Angels in the 1960 Expansion Draft who a short time later traded him to the new Washington Senators, the other new expansion team for the 1961season.
