Wild that the haze from everyone smoking in the stadium was a genuine obstacle out there. Very much a difference from today
Ha you could write this article today and just change the names of the players.
It’s like the big difficult left field works in the Yankees favor because it allows them to move outfielders around based entirely on their productivity but then lean back on the wonky left field as to why you need to move DiMaggio over .
