Julian Javier, A Fine Player

One of my favorite players from the 1960’s is Julian Javier.

He was an integral part of some excellent St. Louis Cardinals’ teams.

His best moment was getting the big hit to get the Cards going in game 7 of the 1967 World Series, played on the real Columbus Day, October 12th.

I seem to recall watching that game, meaning there was no school, thus feel pretty sure even on a Thursday, the real Columbus Day was celebrated.
