Always a Yankee fan since the '50s. Caught the tail end of their 5 straight World Series championships. Still enjoy watching Game 7 of the '52 Series (Billy's catch in the 7th with the bases loaded), a game where Casey used all of his top 3 pitchers -- Lopat, Raschi and Reynolds (the last of whom had pitched the day before). This was a series where the Yanks had to come back 3 times -- losing the 1st, 3rd and 5th games, and having to win the final 2 at Ebbetts Field. Grew up learning my baseball by listening to Mel Allen. Most memorable games -- Larsen's perfecto in '56; the entire '58 Series (where the Yanks had to come from down 3 games to 1, winning the last 2 in Milwaukee); the very exciting '62 Series. Memorable games I attended -- the final game of the '77 Series, when Reggie hit 3 HRs on consecutive swings (he actually hit HRs on his last 4 swings in that Series, homering in his last at-bat in Game 5 in L.A.). Was at many W.S. games, including clinchers. Was at David Cone's perfect game. Loved Mickey and Yogi, and saw lots of Jeter, but my favorite player of all time was Hank Bauer, the ex-WW2 marine who still holds the record for hitting safely in 17 consecutive World Series games. Roger Maris wore his number after the trade over winter 1958, but to me, Yankee #9 will always be Bauer. Next was Gil McDougald, a versatile infielder who, in his career, made the starting lineup of the All-Star Game in different years as a 3rd baseman, a 2nd baseman, and as a shortstop. Also got to see Ted Williams, who Mel Allen taught us Yankee fans was "the greatest natural hitter of all time." Joe DiMaggio is quoted as thanking the good Lord for making him a Yankee. I say to my older brother, thank you for making me a Yankee fan. He's not perfect, though. He was a big Johnny Unitas fan, and really rubbed it in when the Colts beat my Giants in the first-ever overtime NFL championship game.
