Hey guys....I'm somewhat older than you. For me, it all started in the Summer of 1947 when my sister and I were getting these BB cards
out of the Bond Bread packages. We did not have a TV, so I listened intently to the New York teams' games on my old vacum tube radio.
The '47 World Series was the most exciting and thrilling ever in my lifetime. And, with the exception of 1948, I have seen all of the Series
since then.

Yes, I was a Yankees fan, after all, Phil Rizzuto lived nearby us (2 blocks away) in Hillside, NJ. I was very fortunate to see most of Mickey
Mantle's tremendous HR's. And, I saw his very last HR at Yankee Stadium. I took my family to see the Oldtimer's game in the Summer of '73.
Mickey wowed the crowd of 67,000+ by hitting one deep into the seats.
