We remember Tommie Agee who was born in Alabama on this day in 1942. He died in 2001.
Like many others, Tommie had a decent career: .255 average, 130 hr & 433 RBI. He broke with the Indians in 1962 and retired with the Cardinals in 1973.
We remember Agee for game 3 of the 1969 World Series against the Orioles: 2 super catches on shots hit by Paul Blair & Ellie Hendricks. They were game changing catches that may have turned the series momentum to the Mets who won the series in 5 games.
Agee was something else that day, as any Oriole fan will reluctantly agree.
