Awesome story!
Sadly, we're mortal and we all hold an expiration date. Just really tough when you see your childhood heroes moving on. 2020 has been really tough on fans.
How many kids mimicked that wing flap of Joe's when he was at bat. Great video of Joe and the wing flap and Rose flying head first into 3B.
