Good 'ol Geno. One of the nicest guys ever, and a heck of a baseball player too. He was always the guy you wanted up there in a clutch situation. We sometimes kidded Gene about his Barney-like niceness, but he was truly a great guy who would always help out when needed and deliver the big hit. He could also blow up and go off on an umpire and other evil-doers when he felt the team and himself were being given the shaft. Always a dedicated teammate, Gene sometimes drove incredible distances to make the games. Also in this picture are (L toR) Jim Haley, unknown standing, DaveSampson, and Mike Rumps.
