Recall when they traded for him, sent Clay to Philly (in a swap of catchers). Back then Phil was just a tad outside

The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.

All kidding aside, the guy calls a pretty good baseball game and he ain't no spring chicken!

I remember having his Braves card the one with no hat and the flat top, there were several players with that flat top cut in that set, 65 maybe!

Bob was traded mid season 1967, don't think you will find him on any Atlanta card. He retired end of that season.

Yep, missed on that one ! Uecker was with the Cards and it was 1966, not sure who I'm getting him confused with there!

In case you haven't noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven't, the Indians have managed to win a few here and there, and are threatening to climb out of the cellar.
