Fond Memories of Rocky Pitching
In August 1968 I had just turned 13. I was listening to the Yankees on my transistor radio that I had won in a writing contest when I was 7. They were losing to Detroit (I believe) and Ralph Houk decided to bring in Rocky to pitch the last couple of innings. This is why I love baseball: the Yankees rallied, won the game, and Rocky got the win!
I was at a show decades later and decided to get his autograph. I brought up that game as he signed my ball. He remembered it fondly and smiled. What a sweet man. RIP, Rocky, and thanks for giving a teenager a very fond memory as he listened to his little transistor radio.
