More impressively won a World Series title and an NBA title in less than a 12 month span

I recall the bizarre story about Conley and Pumpsie Green (trivia answer: he was Cornell Green's brother) leaving the team and trying to board a flight for Israel....... I'll have to see if that makes the obits...

Thanks, Tom! The true story differs a bit from the one I had heard but I think it's more interesting never the less. |
