Do You Know Me ?


- I was born in Stasburg, PA on July 29, 1938.

- I attended Franklin & Marshall College before being signed to a minor league baseball contract.

- I made my MLB debut on May 11, 1963 for the Detroit Tigers.

- My baseball nickname was "The Coyote" because of my yipping yells, I played third base and was an All-Star in 1968.

- My best season was in 1966: 20 doubles, 11 homers, 70 RBIs and .268 average.

- I am most remembered for my exploits on the night of Sept 17, 1968 when I drove in Al Kaline with the winning run that clinched the A.L. pennant.

- I started a triple play in Washington DC while President Nixon was watching.

- I was traded to the Washington Senators and retired after the 1971 season.
