Great post. The Phillies were missing starting pitcher Curt Simmons due to a National Guard call-up. That may have been the reason Konstanty got a start. Curt is still going strong; Robin Roberts is still with us. Most of the others are gone. The Phils need to win tonite; if they don't, they are in trouble.

Granny Hamner's first name was "Granville" that's how he got his nickname.
