They played together for just about as long as any duo. They hit somewhere around 750 home runs as teammates and usually batted back to back in the lineup. I do love the 1967 combo cards.

If I had a favorite slugging duo it would probably be David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez. For all of his antics (some more harmful than others) Manny was an all-time great hitter.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268829182522679026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-20921252985212349892019-08-01T18:12:06.988-07:002019-08-01T18:12:06.988-07:00Okay, I checked and still need 2 for the PC's....Okay, I checked and still need 2 for the PC's.
