OT - Another good Bobby Thomson and old time fans story
 

I read that this morning and loved it. The story his dad told him of why Hank Thompson and Bobby Thomson weren't related is special.

I thought that was such a great column that I emailed the author. A great piece of Americana. Thanks for sharing.

Richard,
What a great story- I loved it! Thanks!

Its as much about a moment in time in ones life as a baseball story, really good stuff.

Great piece, thanks for posting it.

Me, too.


"You know, Albert, if you have the chance in life to make someone this happy you have an obligation to do it."

RIP Bobby Thomson
