anyway I prefer to think that you were practicing his signature all day and put it on the card yourself

I can’t imagine that one day in boston as cleveland came to town you were drapped over the railing clamoring to get steiner’s graph????

I imagine that you were at the age where you were already nostalgic over the 75 set where the colorful cards were autographed and you decided to sign john’s name.

Please, take me back to the day when you met steiner or decided to be stenier!!

Anyway, as a huge stratomatic player john had one of those cards that had him as defensive rating of 4 but almost at every position! Wow I can play Lowenstein full time at 2b????? How cool. What would the 75 indians have been like with lowenstein playing full time at 2b?

In reality, well my strat playing reality, I would platoon Lowenstein in LF against RP with Charlie Spikes in LF against RP. Between them I was getting 40 HRs. I was a much better manager than Frank Robinson ever was:)

Interestingly the 75 Indians had the 2nd most homeruns that year, falling just short of Boston I believe. I can alway get them to play better than the 500 season they had.

Six positions, B-stealing rating, and 1-16 running stats and Kingman-like HR power (i imagined) against righties made him always valuable player to me.

I vaguely remember he was funny in inteviews.

He looks like he should be hosting a midnight movie.
