My uncle, Charley Feeney, covered the Giants from 1951 through 1957; he then went on the cover the Yankees for a bit (was offered the Jack Lang job at Newsday to cover the Mets in 1962 but turned it down). He settled in Pittsburgh for the rest of his career.
One day, the phone rang at my dad’s childhood home and dad answered. A low voice asked, “Is Charley there?” My dad replied his older brother was not home. The person on the other line identified himself as “Henry Thompson” and he was looking for $20. My dad repeated his brother was not home; Mr Thompson asked my dad to lend him $20. My dad replied, “I’m only 12 years old…”. There was a long pause. Finally the voice asked, “hmmmm…can I borrow $10?” Cool piece my dad has: 1952 Spring Training NY Giants https://x.com/kevinseanfeeney/status...186622978?s=46 Last edited by Kevin; 09-25-2023 at 06:26 AM.
