Last week I picked up a Dick Williams, and my Eddie Mathews that I ordered in November finally got back from PSA. Mathews and Hank Aaron hold the record for home runs hit by a pair of teammates, and he was the only man to play for the Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves. He was also on the cover of the first issue of Sports Illustrated. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1978. Williams was featured prominently in The Boys of Summer, although he is more famous around here for leading the "Impossible Dream" 1967 Red Sox to the World Series. After being fired from Boston, he lead the Oakland Athletics to two consecutive World Series. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2008.
I'll post an update tomorrow on my 2015 goals. I've taken a good sized chunk out of them recently, but I just got back from a wedding so I'm too tired to assess it now.
