His teammate Don Mincher was a hometown hero so we all payed close attention to the Pilots.Then of course the book,which I recently read once again,for probably the 5th or 6th time. Mincher later became GM of the Huntsville Stars AA club,and later Southern League Commissioner.Every time he would pass us in the stands,my brother would shout “200 major league HR’s”…Mr. Mincher would shake his head and give a little smile…every time.
RIP to Don Mincher and Fred Talbot.I may have to read the book again,now…
