Talk:Al Downing (baseball)

Untitled
His fastball exploded and his curveball danced. - Is it just me, or is that a little too flowery for Wikipedia?

NOTE: I've seen in a baseball trivia game that Al Downing is the only player who was active and in uniform in the stadium when Maris hit his 61st home run in 1961, when Mantle his his 500th homer, and when Aaron hit his 715th homer to pass Ruth's lifetime record. I don't know if that's true or not, but have seen it in two separate places. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.178.188.182 (talk) 18:06, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
 * While possible, that's literally trivia, and Downing is already notable for his own accomplishments. Echoedmyron (talk) 18:11, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
