I'm not going to clutter-up this thread with a lengthy dissertation. Instead, I'll make this short and sweet.
I consider myself very fortunate to have been born at a time to have seen some of the greatest Baseball played. It began with the 1947 World Series (Dodgers vs Yankees).
Arguably, one of the most exciting W.S. ever played. From 1948 - 1960 (either at Yankee Stadium, Ebbets Field, the Polo Grounds, or watching TV), I saw some really great
Baseball (including Don Larsen's PERFECT W.S. game). And some great players....Berra, DiMaggio, Jackie Robinson, Mantle, Mays, Snider, Ted Williams, etc., etc.).
Then, I enlisted in the US Air Force.
My views on the game are quite traditional. So, I will leave it at that.
