When I was growing up in Alexandria, VA, a DC suburb, in the mid to late 1950's, we didn't have much to cheer about with respect to the Washington Senators. But, thankfully, we did have Roy Sievers!
Although I probably can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday, I clearly recall the countless hours of wiffle ball games my best buddy and I played against each other. He pretended to be the Dodgers, and I was always the Senators. When it was Sievers' turn to bat in my wiffle-ball lineup, I tried my best to emulate his batting stance and swing. And after we got tired of playing wiffle ball, we'd go inside and trade baseball cards and/or play games to win each other's cards. Those were fun days!
Below are the links to 2 very good reads about Sievers from the Washington Post. The first is an obituary. The second is an appreciation written in 1990 by Thomas Boswell, the dean of DC sportswriters, which contains a mention of Siever's 1956 Topps card.
