Adam Wainwright's "pipe shots" to Derek Jeter reminds me of Denny McLain grooving one to Mickey Mantle in the memorable '68 season. Check out pages 126-129 in SUMMER OF '68.

Mr. Wendel,
I am in the non-fiction section of the Lockport, NY library and I see the "local authors section. Your books are in there. I just read "Summer of '68." Checked you Wiki page and saw that you were raised in Lockport. I moved to Bloomington MN in 1980 but come home 1-2 times a year to see family. I graduated Lockport SHS in 1972. Liked your 1991 Twins book about the WS.
