But he rang up my Slurpee!


On this date in 1968, Denny McLain notches his 30th win with a 5-4 win over the A's making him the first 30 game winner since Dizzy Dean in 1934.

"At the time, the world seemed wonderfully warm."

Then came the rest of his career, and two prison stints and working at 7-11 on Mound Road in Sterling Heights, Michigan where he once rang up a Slurpee for me.
