[QUOTE="Chilliniwek, post: 1542427, member: 6819"] As wpr mentioned earlier, it's funny how the passage of time alters your memory. It was the national Game of the Week, so Harry did the play by play on WGN-AM, but "The Good Kid" was still doing color. And because of my friendship with Lou, I got to meet Denny McLain once. Denny shook my hand and as we talked, he told me that when he had his troubles with gambling, etc., Lou, whose daughter was McLain's wife, was one of the few people who stood by him. Denny also had the biggest hands of any man whose hand I've shaken. It virtually disappeared into his and I wondered if I'd ever see it again. Eventually he let go and there it was. And I'm kind of a big guy myself. [/QUOTE]
