In the Spring of 1949 I became a Yankees fan.....thanks to Mrs McGregor; our
5th grade teacher. She was such an avid baseball fan that she would show us
the movies of the previous years' World Series. I will never forget the 1947 WS
(Yankees vs Dodgers). It has to be the most exciting 7-game WS ever played.
And, it made me a Yankees fan forever.

I read some of the anti-Yankee posts here lauding Mazeroski's HR in 1960. I recall
that game very well. I can recall that ball carrying into the Left Field stands like it
was just yesterday.

OK.....Trivia Quiz time.....who was the Yankee left-fielder watching that HR go over
his head into the stands ?

And, then I'll tell you who he blamed for the Yankees losing that game....and it was
not Mazeroski.
