1. …yes, but you must note, he didn’t start reelin’ in the honeys until much later, when he landed the role of Willie Tanner on the hit series “ALF”.

I recall looking on the backs of the cards to see what player had my birthday. I was really bummed out when I saw the only guy that shared this distinction with me as F’n Folkers.

(*sigh*)

In the stark absence of, say, even a SLIGHTLY more inspiring role model or two, the presence of Folkers, along with his balding and bespectacled doppleganger Ron Herbel, in the Mets bullpen of the early ’70s,
did NOT, I repeat DID NOT make it even the SLIGHTEST bit easier to be a baseball-loving child with myopia and a perscription for new glasses…
