I'm more in awe of Opperman the more I knew about him. I seen him almost beat up at Flemington because some rednecks didn't like his cross and they wanted him to remove his hat for the evening. I didn't understand why a guy might get buried in a corn field over a goofy hat, take it off man. He refused and was escorted away from the situation. I was like ten years old. It wasn't till decades later that I learned it was his late brothers hat and he wore it in memoriam.
Sammy Beavers, well he was just Sammy Beavers.
