Andy Pafko is 87 year old and didn’t take part in today’s throwback game between the Cubs and Braves. Many other old timers took part in the game, which is somewhat like a setback game but the players actually wear uniforms like the ones they used to. Uniforms that resemble the half a century old uniforms they used to wear back in the day. I was hoping top see the great Andy Pafko play but I didn’t actually catch the game. Andy Pafko was the Cubs’ regular third baseman in 1948. Can you believe that? 60 years have passed since. Andy Pafko didn’t however play third base in this game. Instead, he played first base. That is amazing for an 87 year old man. As a hitter, Pafko in 1948 had 26 home runs and 101 RBI. Pafko had a 17-season career, he was a .285 hitter with a total of 213 home runs and 976 RBI in 1852 games. His nickname at the time was “Handy Andy”, and Pafko was a popular player. He played for three different cities and is a five-time All-Star. He played with the cubs today because he was actually a member of the Chicago Cubs in their last World Series game in 1945.

Cheap Cubs Tickets on 22 June, 2008 at 12:16 am #

The only thing that has changed for the Cubs since Andy Pafko played, is the cheap Cubs tickets back then compared to now. The Cubs are still losers and even though the 2008 Cubs are in first place, The Curse of The Billy Goat is too strong. I plead to the Cubs: please don’t go printing Cubs World Series tickets just yet because you’ll find a way to blow it. Not even the will of Andy Pafko can help you now.
