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 Weekend... We will post a new card on Tuesday. |
