In January, 1954, three strange men in an Oldsmobile 88 Rocket bought gas from Joe Bauman's Texaco station Roswell, New Mexico. When they saw that Bauman was a man of the star (Texaco's symbol), and learned that he played baseball for the Roswell Rockets, the three strange men, in truth aliens, gave Bauman a supernatural gift, which eventually allowed Bauman hit a record 72 career home runs that season.
