Remembering Iacavazzi

During the sixties, my father (Francis Lund Van Dusen '34) would take me and my brother Frank '71 to Tigers' games.    I'll never forget Cosmo Iacavazzi, and what a great name!

In one game, he was tackled by a team of adversaries all standing up.    Before the refs could call the down moot, Iacavazzi clawed and kneed his way to the top of the bodies below and ran away with the ball!

I can't remember if he played only defense or offense.   If he was defense, he must have recovered a fumble on his way up.    I can't remember the year of that season.

I wish I could go to that NYC commemoration game.   Have fun!
