I certianly remember him. Good average, high OBP, medium power; good left fielder with an arm Ackley would be ashaed of. Not only that, I copied his batting stance - hands really low and body upright. Did he really bat clean-up? That, I don't recall. I know he played in the lowest period of modern Yankee history, but it's hard to believe he was their best power hitter. Here's what's striking. A couple years ago I was thinking Ackley could be George Brett. Now I'd be thrilled if he was Roy White.
