When I first started collecting, my parents bought my cards and Becketts from a small neighborhood grocery owned by a very nice gentleman of the same name.

How nice that you chose an obituary ...Fireblossom,<br /><br />How nice that you chose an obituary post to rip a player!<br /><br />The Dodgers traded an over-the-hill Maury Wills for Bailey and rookie SS Gene Michael. Bailey was a backup, and Michael only lasted 1 season with LA. Blame the Dodgers for this deal - one of several during this time that backfired. A year later, they traded 2 good relievers (Ron Perranoski and Bob Miller) and their starting catcher to the Twins for Jim Grant (who did very little and was gone in the expansion draft after 1 year) and Zoilo Versalles (who was an outright bust). "Zorro" was selected by the Padres in the expansion draft, and even THEY didn't keep him!<br /> <br /><br />Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949817489487564796.post-40576781882874021162018-01-16T20:40:52.736-05:002018-01-16T20:40:52.736-05:00Bailey stunk for the Dodgers.
