Speaking of the 69 Senators my cousins who were living in Silver Spring Md. at the time went to the All Star game in 69 at RFK. They said the Senators fans booed Rico Petrocelli because they thought Ed Brinkman should have started over him, lol. That's the year Rico hit 40 HR's.Ed Brinkman was Ted Williams' pet project when he managed the Senators. Brinkman went from 48 and 44 OPS+ in 67 and 68, to 89 and 80 with Ted teaching him to hit; then forgot it all when he was traded to Detroit.
