A word about February 2



Don Buford was born in Linden, TX on this day in 1937.  Buford was the O's lead off hitter and left fielder when they won the AL pennant in 1969, 1970 and 1971.     They won the World Series in 1970.   Don started out with the Chicago White Sox and traded to Baltimore for the 1968 season.   Overall, he was a very professional player and productive lead off hitters in 5 seasons with the O's:   .270 BA and a .385 OBP.     He stole 200 bases for his 10-year career with Chicago and Baltimore.

"The way we were" was released in 1973.    It quickly became a very popular romantic film starring Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford.   The movie's title theme was # 1 this week in 1974.   

We remember Mary Ferrah Leni Fawcett.   She was born in Corpus Christi, Texas on this day in 1947 and died of cancer in 2009.  In the 1970's, she became a TV superstar as Jill Monroe in "Charlie's Angels".   It was a show about 3 beautiful girls battling crime and bad people.    Farrah left the series and enjoyed a lot of success in other movies.

In other words, he did his job by getting on base for the power hitters coming up down the lineup.  By all accounts, he was a great team guy and fan favorite.
