Seeing those Azcue pics brings back memories for this Red Sox fan. He was part of the deal that sent Hawk Harrelson to the Indians in exchange for Sonny Siebert in April of '69. Azcue for some reason didn't play much with the Red Sox for the two months he was with Boston and was sent to the Angels for Tom Satriano at the June 15 trade deadline.
The road uniform he has on...I believe that was the first year for the red trim around the "BOSTON" on the front and number on the back.
Azcue may not have played that much in a Red Sox uniform, but he can always say that his number was retired at Fenway Park.
