Karko came to mind when I first read your post. I dug out my old programs and sure enough it was Karko. Man, the things we remember. How come I can remember Ron Karkovice's # but can't remember what my wife told me a few seconds ago?:D:

87-88 Karkovice, 91 Matt Merullo

[HITMEN OF 77]

Who would have worn #42 in 1969-1970? It's a batting helmet (for a right handed hitter) so that would leave Al Lopez out in '69.

According to my old press guides from 1970 and 1971, Bart Johnson wore number 42 in 1969 and 1970.

As the Sox Supporters used to proclaim via bedsheet banner during those days:

OH NO! NOT BART!!

LOL
