I didn't know you could do a straight trade like that to international leagues. When was the most recent straight-up player trade between a major league team and an international team?

Same with Sparky earlier. And Jazz probably already knows, but we lost James Moody a few days ago, too...

Fascinating, thrilling seeing Mantle, Maris, Berra, Kubeck, Richardson not to mention Clemente, Virdin, Vern Law Hal Smith pinch hit three run homer and Mazerowski. What a game! And you get Mel Allen, too.What late inning drama. This was the first game I paid attention to when I was 8 years old. No wonder I became a lifelong baseball fan. This must be the greatest games ever played. The stunning turn of events almost batter by batter as the game got into the 7th, 8th and 9th is gripping even when you know what's going to happen. anyone watching the 1960 game 7 on MLB network.

Ahh, Rich McKinney. One of the worst trades in Yankee history. Shortly after joining the Yankees, McKinney asked Marty Appel, the team's public relations director, where he could score some drugs!

I mention it because I would like to see the Yankees raise arms, rather than pay for them. In 1968 he was named Rookie of the Year following a 17-12 season with an era of 2.05, 162 k's and only 62 walks. Bahnsen left the Yankees in 1971, having gone 14-12, following a 14-11 year. An innings eater, he was traded for Rich McKinney. It was during the time the Yankees were looking for a third baseman, a quest that ended the next year when they acquired Greggie.
