Message: [QUOTE="CTrefugee, post: 3981894, member: 7081"] I was a New Yorker until 1965. I was a Yankee fan. My father played semi-pro ball and was a Giant fan, so I had to go to the Polo Grounds most times. I hated the Dodgers ad Ebbets field. In high school, I got a job as a day camp counselor at a Boys' Club. The Yankees always let us (and our 80 kids) into the grandstand free, so I got to see many, many games. The downside was the long train ride from Queens to the Bronx with 80 feral boys. One game that stands out was Ted Williams last game at Yankee Stadium. My father was a big fan of Williams, so we went to Yankee-Red Sox games. I am not sure of the details after 60+ years, but Ted did have a good day (two solid doubles I think). There never was a more beautiful swing. I watched Don Larsen's perfect game and still remember Yogi's reaction after the last pitch. [/QUOTE]
