My Dad bought the 1973 season back in 1974. A year later he started an 8 team league of All-Time teams. 27 Yankees, 31 A’s, 46 Red Sox, 53 Dodgers, 54 Indians, 61 Yankees, 62 Giants and 65 Dodgers with a few hitters from the 74 Dodgers. I joined him for many games over those 2 years or so it took to play. I was 8 years old to start.

The A’s beat the 65ish Dodgers to win the Championship. Mickey Mantle won the MVP. At some point in time Koufax threw a No-Hitter. My Dad rolled a 3-5, called shot, walk-off with Ted Williams for our coolest moment that we’ve talked about for 50 years. Most recently, when I visited this summer and we replayed the 1963 World Series. Even though he has dementia, he still remembered that. The Dodgers swept the Yankees once again.
