Gotta love Albie...
what was he? 4’9’’?

There was a reason he was called "Little Man".
In “Once They Were Angels” (I think), they tell the story of how Ted Williams helped him out on his swing.

Albie's my avatar
My mom was an Angels fan back when we still lived in San Jose, and Pearson was her favorite Angel. When we moved here in ‘64, she passed on her Angel fandom to me. So Albie’s always been one of my favorites too, even though I never saw him play.
