About a week turnaround...

Great return from 89 yr old Alvin Dark 2/2

Dark is a pretty phenomenal individual. Played QB at LSU and La-Lafayette(led them to an undefeated 1943 year and drafted by the Eagles)

Served in Asia during the war and then comes back and chooses baseball. In 48, he is the ROY in NL(3rd in MVP voting). 2 WS Championships(one as player and one as manager of 74 A's)..Just an all-around great baseball man and a heck of a shortstop...

He is currently the oldest-living manager of a WS Championship team.
