Fair Hooker of the Cleveland Browns.

I can remember the first time I saw the name Mel Kaufman(God rest his soul) in the Washington Redskins lineup,I thought of a fellow who might have been a member of my Synogogue congregation. As it turned out he was an Afro American Southern Baptist. By the way how the heck did devout Catholic Whoopi Goldberg get her name? Before I knew much about her,I thought she might have been a relation to Molly( Re:The old TV series"The Goldbergs")! How can I forget former Hartford Whaler,Ray Neufeld. After thinking I might see him in Schul or offering me a bagel with a schmeir,I noticed he was another fine Afro American. Interesting stuff!

I also remember Dave Cash with the Pirates and Don Money with the rival Phillies. If memory serves me correct The Bucs had three young second basemen at that time including Cash. One was Rene Stennet,the other our old friend,farmhand Willie Randolph!
