(The Mick certainly had HUGE shoes to fill! He had one year under his belt in Right Field before taking over Center from the retiring Joe DiMaggio. I don’t there has ever been – or will ever be – a switch-hitter with numbers better than The Mick’s. One in a billion! None of the clue words gave me any trouble. I don’t think any are new. The answer letter layout was just okay, today. Nice little slice of baseball history, though. They’ve done Jackie Robinson in the past. I wonder who they might do next? Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
