Thanks, Paul - I was wondering how high he was on the list. There really weren't that many players with 300 career homers when he retired. I recall the last three players listed on the Street & Smith All-Time List were Al Simmons (307), Rogers Hornsby (301) and Chuck Klein (300) - al least, that's where they finished listing retired players, followed by active players with less. I'm not absolutely sure, but I seem to recmember Sievers occupying the place just above Simmons.

Ironically, my last 52 Topps card that I purchased was of Roy Sievers.
1st card (lastest scanned in my FlickR link below) RIP Roy.

In the mid 1950s, my dad took me to see my first baseball game. Tigers vs Senators. Tigers lost 4-3 and in that game and Sievers home run in that game was the difference. I always respected Roy Sievers, and was always happy when I found a Sievers card in a brand new pack of cards. RIP Roy Sievers.
