Cobb and Staub




















Twenty-two years ago today a 40-year-old Rusty Staub hit a walkoff 2-run bomb at Shea to cap off a four-run rally in the ninth and beat the Phils 6-4. The dinger made Le Grande Orange one of only two men to hit home runs in the bigs as teenagers and also after the age of 40.

The other was the Georgia Peach, also known as the Nastiest Racist Ever to Sharpen a Pair of Spikes, also known as Tommy Lee Jones.
