Aparicio was a great shortstop born in Venezuela in 1934: .262 batting average, 2,677 hits and 506 stolen bases in 2,599 games. He was an excellent defensive shortstop.
Killebrew was born in Idaho in 1936 and became one of the best power hitters of our generation: 573 HR, 1,584 RBI, AL MVP 1969 and several HR titles.
Drysdale was born in California in 1936 and played his entire career with the Dodgers: 209 wins, 167 complete games and a 2.95 ERA. In 1968, he pitched 58 straight scoreless innings including six straight shutouts.
They were great.
