RJ> Good story. Do yo remember a guy from the Indians named
RJ> George Strickland from that time frame?
BT> I MOST CERTAINLY DO. He was on the 1954 team that won 111 games
BY> out of the 154 game season.
RJ> Was quite a team, wasn't it?
It certainly was. I also saw Bob Fella pitch in Fenway Park.
BT>Speaking of George Strickland, as a kid I remember the word STRICK
BT>on the back tire flaps of the trailer trucks and he would come to my
BT> mind.
RJ> I'm sure he'd appreciate that story.
It also comes to my mind that there was a trucking company called
STRICKLAND back then.
If you talk to George, you can relay my messsage to him.
