1st Gold Glove was Bobby Shantz in 1962. Shantz was traded on May 6, 1962 to the Cardinals. Shantz didn't play long enough to qualify as a Gold Glove winner for the Colt .45's in my estimation but if that's the way CrashTest presented the question, your likely correct. I haven't checked up on Shantz' defensive skills as a Gold Glove winner although, I know he was a very good fielder for a pitcher. |

You are correct. I just looked at the way Crash asked the question and then looked up Radars stats, which I had assumed was correct. I happened to see that Shantz was a GG winner in 1962 and was an 45 that year also.I am figuring that ole tricky Crash meant Shantz.
The GG is presented to the player, not the player/team so I figured Crash kinda asked a question he knew you would guess Radar on and be wrong.

I have a question regarding the greatest promotional theme ever....the FOAMER... Man!...it was great....that light on the scoreboard...on for 60 seconds...off for 60 seconds...if an Astro hit a homer when the light was on...Free Beer!!!!...Cliff johnson will always have a warm spot in my heart for that.... The question is...How long would there be free beer/...and how many per Homer?...I just dont remember I am unclear as to the ground rules, too. My initial recollection was that it was nickel beer for the rest of the night. (I don't think it is legal to give away beer in such venues and "nickel beer" was a common promotion back then). I also remember they changed it to "designated K" when it became more likely you'd in the lottery than an Astro would hit a HR ... in the Dome .... with the light on. So they'd pick a batter on the opponent and if he'd K with the light on ---- FOAMER TIME. Wasn't it JR who would pause on such occasions when he got 2 strikes on the batter and rub down the ball until the light came on? |

Crash is pretty sneaky. ;D Heh, heh --- got ol' James on an Uncle Charlie when he was looking for cheese at the knees. Thought I might have tipped my pitch with the Shantz for Warwick trade question - which was where I had found out about his '62 GG. |

Back then it certainly was legal because they gave away the beer and they gave it away in those huge cups too!!  If I recall, it was J.R. who on occasion would make sure the light was on before he fired that 3rd strike....and he had a lot of them! |

With those seedy people lurking in the corners waiting for a tip for handing you a towel. Of all the jobs in the world - restroom attendant has got to be one of the worst. By the way, I always felt you should wash your hands BEFORE you take a leak. After all, you know where your d!ck has been all day - all nestled in swaddling clothes. And urine is usually sterile. But god only knows where your HANDS have been. Typically, in surgery you try to go from sterile to clean to dirty to infected. So we use our usually dirty hands to touch a usually clean d!ck. Just doesn't make any sense..... Carry on... |

LOL... Those guys kill me, you want a f**ken dollar because you cut in front of me to grab a towel for me that I was going after anyway. Look buddy, just because you've had to sit in here all day smelling the remants of scores of customers dropping Mr. Brown off at the coast, doesn't make me feel sorry enough for you to give you a dollar.
You're killing me, Crash. ;D

If you wash your hands at the same time you piss, you're an AGGIE! If you wash them afterward, you're TEXAN.  If you never wash them after, you're just a nasty bastard!(Probably from South Of Border!) ;D |
