Brad: This may stretch your credulity but I think I was at that game! When I was a kid in New York in those days my Dad always took me and two or three schoolmates to a Yankees game on the occasion of my birthday which was April 20. That would have been a Monday in 1959. The Yanks were out of town until the Saturday game and he wouldn't have taken me out of school anyway. I have no specific recollection of that exact game but it was the Orioles each birthday because the home-stand and road-trip schedules didn't vary much from year to year. Can't say for sure that I was there, might have been Sunday instead (although that was a doubleheader and I can't see my Dad watching eighteen innings of baseball with four nine year olds in tow). My memory isn't so good fifty-five years later; best I can say is maybe. In any event I am sure that grand old stadium and that great Yankees team left a wonderful impression on your father.
