    Gamble hit a homer the first (and only) time I sat behind the plate at Yankee Stadium.

    I'd say my best batting stance imitations were Garvey and Dusty. I'm a switch-hitter so I had fun trying to do Joe Morgan's chicken-wing flap.

    I did Mel Hall better than Mel Hall did.
    Talk about someone tailor-made for a ball park.......Mel Hall and the Old Yankee Stadium with the porch in right.

    While you guys were imitating Mel Hall, he was probably rolling around your middle school hitting on girls.

    Didn't realize he played until the mid-80s, or that he was as good as he was. OPS+ of 127. Is Oscar Gamble a HOFer? [/WhitmanThread] (Sorry couldn't resist)

    Marty should have saved some of Oscar's hair.
