Re: St. Louis Browns Haven't seen any Pete gray answers yet. Does anyone remember that the diehard Browns Boosters got together at the Roosevelt Hotel bar on Euclid and Delmar? I may not be accurate in my location and invite corrections. These fans were loyal to the Browns no matter what their record. The fact that the Cardinals may have won the Pennant and World Series did not interest them. The St. Louis Browns Fan Club had a get-together here in Kansas City recently when the Baltimore Orioles (successors to the Browns) were here playing the Kansas City Royals, (the team that won the 1985 World Series). Ned Garver was here. Surely he was the best known of the Browns mostly forgettable players, although I am always ready to supply more names. I was amazed to learn that the president of the Browns fan club had never seen a Browns game. I have seen many while growing up in St. Louis. I regret that they folded and the American League no longer has a St. Louis team. Many teams have been rejuvenated and have become winners. Apparently I am still " waiting for next year," the mark of a real Browns fan. Christian Mentrup Kansas City, Missouri Jims505@aol.com wrote: >I remember "Pete Gray and Bill Veek."
