And hippies gather at Griffith Park.

Akron had everything for the swinging bachelor pad — including armor.

Joe DiMaggio's name surfaced in a story by The Times' John Wiebusch
on potential replacements for Angel Manager Lefty Phillips. DiMaggio
was in the mix but only because he was telling associates he wanted no

Others rumored to be possibilities included another former Yankee
player, Hank Bauer, and Red Schoendienst, who had been a player, coach
and manager with the Cardinals.

Of course, none of those potential managers actually took over.
Phillips stayed for the disaster that became the Angels' 1970 season.
