I turned 6 in 1960 and found baseball. We lived near Shreveport, LA. The Saturday Game of the Week is also what turned me into a Yankee fan. In 1961, when Post cereal had their baseball card promotion, I sent my dime in to get the 10 card set of the Yankees. Being the Number 1 team at the time probably didn't hurt either.
