Nettles was a slick fielding,hard nosed power hitting third baseman for those Bronx burning Yankee teams in the late 70's...I remember nettles for wearing Maris' number 9 and for his amazing defensive plays ala Brooks Robinson...on more than one occasion I would be watching a playoff game, Nettles at bat, and i would think ,"man a homerun would be nice"....then Boom!...he would turn on one and there it would go.....
thanks for the memories,Graig...
