Manage episode 482183613 series 3573981
When a Clemente line drive broke Bob Gibson's leg in '67, "The Creeper" stepped up.
With ace pitcher Gibson out of commission for a large part of the '67 season, the Redbirds had their wings clipped, but on the arms of his teammates like Larry "The Creeper" Jaster, they persevered, not only winning the pennant but ultimately taking the World Series trophy.
In part 1 of our interview with 82-year-old Jaster, he shares his memories of that championship season, including how he earned his two nicknames, The Creeper and The Dodger Killer. He also reminisces about the many legends he interacted with such as Ted Simmons, Red Schoendienst, George Kissell, and others. Be a part of yesteryear baseball as he talks about what it was like to be a part of the inaugral season for the Montreal Expos.
