Another big thank you!
You are fortunate to have such a great father and live in NYC and be able to attend Yankee games during that period.
Also, it goes to show the far reaches of baseball and the Yankees. I was born in 1952, and was living on a small cotton farm in Arkansas in 1961. Yet, about as far away from New York city as you can get in 1961, the kids I grew up with cherished Mickey Mantle, Stan Musial and Bob Gibson. We would argue about how many Musial's you would trade for a Mantle, or vice versa! Listening to Dizzy Dean, or Curt Gowdy on the radio was a highlight. Saturday baseball on tv was a big deal.
Funny that 2 kids like us, from very different parts of the USA, have some of the same hobby interests as old men!
Again, many thanks.
