I'd like to add Daughters to this mix
At a young age (early 1970's), I introduced my daughters, Zoe and Debbie, to baseball. Every Summer we would go to
see the Yankees Old Timers Day game. Our favorite was 1973, when Whitey Ford grooved a pitch to Mickey Mantle, he
hit a HR deep into the left-centerfield stands over the 412-ft marker in the old stadium.
I taught Zoe and Debbie baseball and tennis at a young age. In HS they were top players on their Softball and Tennis
teams. I will never forget my daughters' joy when Reggie Jackson hit 3 consecutive HR's (each on the 1st pitch to him)
in that famous World Series game in 1977.
1977 was the year my daughters were collecting BB cards and encouraged me to dig up my original BB cards that were
in the attic of my folks home in Hillside, NJ......the rest is history.
So, my point is....get your daughters also involved in BB (and BB cards) at an early age. You will find it very rewarding.
