And to think 27 years later this baby faced kid would join Bob in Cooperstown.
Fingers, The Hall of Fame reliever won or saved eight of the Athletics’ 12 World Series victories during their three-year run atop the baseball world, culminating in Series MVP honors in 1974.
Rollie Fingers has been to 33 straight inductions since his own.
Today, during a tour of our collections vault, we told him we have 40,000 artifacts. He said now you have 40,0001 and gave us a tube of his mustache wax!
