For the 2010 season Cardboard Gods will be
posting every Monday, Wednesday & Friday.


Al Downing won 123 games during his
17-year major league career, was a 20-
game winner for the Dodgers in 1971,
pitched in three different World Series
and logged two shutout innings for the
American League in the 1967 All-Star
Game. However, he will always be
remembered as the pitcher who gave
up Hank Aaron’s 715th home run.

You did good Al, but sometimes life
just isn’t fair.







Editor's Note: Have a great Labor Day
