gsksun4 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Well, here's the scores and placings from the '63 A.L. Nationals. Some choices can be eliminated right off the bat, but other than that, I have no clue as to who the Cavie look-alike is. 1. Blessed Sacrament 86.416 2. Garfield 83.775 3. St. Lucy's 77.240 4. Muchachos 74.800 5. Magnificent Yankees 73.916 6. Argonne Rebels 72.263 7. Miami Vanguard 71.456 8. Marion Cadets 70.183 9. Austin Lancers 65.000 10. Katahdin Rangers, Maine 62.530 So, who is it????? I have no idea, but Brinker came to mind immediately . I had to look and see if they came east, or in this case south east in 63. They didn't, as they made the trip to Seattle for the VFW crown. As for ruling out possibilities, I think it's safe to say it's not Garfield, St. Lucy's or Muchachos, OK, I've reviewed pictures I could find and think I have the answer. If you open the link below and click on the 5th picture from the left and look closely at the middle of the guard, there looks to be the drum major marching right behind and the uniform seems to match. Or maybe that's the guard captain, but I don't know if he'd be marching behind the guard. Better eyes than mine can make the call. Remember, the Miami picture is black and white. http://corpsreps.com/corpsreps.cfm?view=pictures&corpsid=574&corpstype=Junior Edited June 11, 2014 by gsksun4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennedy and LaRocca would be stepping forward to accept the trophy. Here's a 62 picture of Argonne Rebels, first pic on left, also second: http://corpsreps.com/corpsreps.cfm?view=pictures&corpsid=5&corpstype=Junior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 This recent exchange reminds me of the Watergate hearings. "What did the drum major know, and when did he know it???? " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbalaya Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'd like to thank our esteemed posters in their avoidance of the '63 Senior results........it still sticks in my craw even 54 years after 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTux Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Just the mention of his name brings a smile to me - I was just a snot nosed kid and when he saw my Brigadier uniform, I was his best friend... He may have bled BS Golden blood, but he always considered himself a Brigadier... Bobby Thompson... one of the few who truly changed the activity... even if he couldn't hit home runs... Is there such a thing as going OT when we're already OT?

TennTux Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Either you got off cheap or I need to use vets in your area..... 14 and still going.... Had to take "that" final tip to the vet a few days before our Bichons 14th B-day..... I don't think we "got off cheep".... Every time we go to the vet it's another $100 even when there's nothing wrong. heh This year's DCA weekend brings us to the 2nd anniversary we took our Samantha (she was our 16 yr old Border Terrier) to that final trip to the vet.... We use the 4th of July as both Sam and Vickie's B'days as that's the day we got them from the local rescue.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
