Marty, cool story I may have a couple of those megaphones as well. I only got to watch that team on TV. I was 9 during the 1971 Series. I fell in love with baseball because of that team. They had a swagger and cool about them that I loved. They were so diverse and fun to watch. They were Soul Train, American Bandstand, Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, and Hee Haw all rolled together. In terms of diversity I believe they were a trailblazing team and reflective of baseball's future .
Mark my friend the right team won that series.
