Thanks for the clarification. It was quite a bit before my time so I wasn't aware of the organizational changes.
He's actually before my time as well. Eddie Matthews retired after the 1968 World Series. I saw very little baseball before 1969, as few if any games were broadcast on Canadian television, we didn't get great reception for the Buffalo stations with the rabbit ears on top of the black and white TV set, and my family was usually at a cottage for all of July each summer.

We moved to Montreal in mid-July, 1969. I missed Neil Armstrong's moonwalk and the 1969 baseball All-Star game - it was rained out, and played the following afternoon. I saw a couple of Expos games in August, 1969, and I saw the 52-110 '69 Expos win both games of a doubleheader, in September.

I was only familiar with a few baseball players before 1969, and only the ones whose cards I had acquired in school yard sports card games like topsies, knock-downs and leaners.

Dave Cone won 1 with the Jays and 4 with the Yankees. The other one is shocking. I had to look it up, so I won't ruin the question by cheating.
