The Duke OF Flatbush? The Silver Fox?

It must have been really something having Mickey, Willie and The Duke playing in the same city, all on competative teams!

In a book that I read years ago ( I think it was titled "Say Hey" ) about Willie Mays, he said that when he was on deck and Thompson hit that homerun, he don't know if he was more relieved that the Giants won the game, or that he, a rookie did not have to get up in that situation! Said he was nervous as hell while in the on deck circle.
