Default Hi Andy--
Back in 1993 when I was doing shows I set up @ one of Mike Riccio's Stamford CT weekend affairs when Mickey Owen & Tommy Henrich were guest signers.

Right after the Sat show closed my wife & I adjourned to the motel bar for some well-deserved cocktails and I grabbed a seat @ the bar right next to Tommy Henrich.

I had the great pleasure to sit w/ Tommy & drink Budweisers for about an hour & 1/2 while he told story after story about every Yankee he ever knew or played w/--from Ruth right up until he saw Mantle arrive for Spring Training in 1950.

Greatest thrill I ever had talking to a ballplayer and will never forget it!
