I remember sending in a penny and getting 12 record albums. The contract was to buy 4-6 at regular price.

Fill the contract, wait for another offer to rejoin.

Used record stores, especially in college towns. Albums for 50-cents each.

Columbia?

Biggest name in music.

A great deal for someone like me who grew up in a small town.

Ted Williams lost years of his prime serving in both WW2 and the Korean War.

The best hitter of all time was Ty Cobb, a genius in spikes.

Fun fact:

Williams was wingman to John Glenn during a raid just south of Pyongyang in Feb. 1953. His Panther was damaged by flak.

I got to see Clemente play a number of times.

Him, Willie Stargell, Bill Mazeroski.

Danny Murtaugh was the manager.

Lucky you!

Saw the Say Hey kid once only before he was traded to the mets. Saw No 44 Willie McCovey number of times.
