Who remembers the collision between left fielder Larry Smith and shortstop Fred Bonner. I think it was Fred who was evacuated to the Philippines for a head injury. It was one hell of a whack over a fly ball.
Wow! Talk about two good lookin’ people. Great to have seen Fred at the Nashville reunion and Venita at the Saigon Reunion..
At the Nashville reunion we played ball…Wow! Did it take me back in time. It felt like yesteryear. Fred was just as Gung Ho as he was as a teenager. You should have seen him run those bases.
