only reason I'm posting this is the following amazing stat:

he faced Mickey Mantle 66 times.
he struck him out 44 times.

unbelievable.

The Monster will be missed. I used to love listening to Radatz and Mike Adams on EEI a few years back when they did the baseball show.

when I was about 13 they had a local promotion for the New England Sports Museum... I remember Dick Radatz and how big of a man he was... I shook his hand and it swallowed my little paw ... but he was also a very nice guy

i also met bobby orr, chris nilan, dave cowens (what a dick!), killer kowalski, and other local "celebs" that day but meeting Radatz always stands out... rip
