This is amazing. One of the coolest baseball-music crossovers ever.

I grew up a fan of Le Grand Orange because, even though I never saw him play as an Astro, he started his career and first made the All Star team as a Colt 45/Astro.

Alas, the Expos are no more, but their American League counterparts, the Toronto Blue Jays, are still around...

Rest in peace, Mr. Mays.

Nice piece of baseball history. I knew of Rusty from being a Mets fan. Good writing and research and a nice way of telling history

Great crossover story. Rusty’s story needs to be told as well. Very intelligent and intellectual. I believe he was Gay. Loved New York’s cultural life. Became a restauranteur and hit for power. 😳
