"Hank Aguirre began in Detroit as a reliever.   His most significant start came in 1962 at Yankee Stadium.  Don Mossi had arm trouble and manager Bob Scheffing wanted a lefthander against the Yankees...He finished the 1962 season with a 2.21 E.R.A., the best in Detroit since Hal Newhouser in 1946."—Watson Spoelstra

"There are many things that make the XIX Olympiad the most intriguing of the modern Olympic games and some of them are good.   For openers, the Mexicans offer a stimulating approach to food and drink and a brassy architecture that seems to bring everything in Mexico City into particularly sharp focus.  Olympic visitors—150,000 are expected to occupy in shifts 67,000 available beds—will find Mexico City a wildly beautiful place..."—John Underwood
