Lavel Freeman had a monster year in double-A in 1987. I remember reading an article about him in an old price guide(not Beckett) and wondered why he wasn't a big league star. Not sure what happened..
ReplyDeleteI ran across this set at a Denver-area LCS a couple years ago. Great shots of the old Mile High Stadium.
