Today you get to look back to some March of 1963 Sporting News articles by Arno Goethel and Max Nichols. One of the articles is about Hall of Fame outfielder Pedro, or is it Tony Oliva? The other is about Rich Rollins whose first full season in the big leagues was 1962 when he made both American League All-Star teams as a starter and finished eighth in AL MVP voting. Yes, MLB played two All-Star Games per season for four years, from 1959 through 1962. Designed to increase player pension funds, these eight total games were played in different stadiums each year, ending after the 1962 season when owners agreed to a larger share of income from a single game.
Plus I will throw in a Lucky Strike ad for you as a bonus but you need to scroll down from the ad to see the Oliva article.
