Going to Atlantic City for a month during the summer, before Trump had a casino, and my Dad would drive down on weekends in our '54 Chevy because he worked 5 days during the week! 6. Playing "off the point" where you'd hit a Spalding pinkie ball off the cement molding on a Apt. Building Foundation, one bounce a single, two bounces a double, etc.......... 7. Playing 3 square baseball on sidewalks of the Bronx, NY, by pitching knuckleballs into the third box and my opponent had to slap it back into the nearest box to me, also 1 bounce single, 2 bounces double, etc..... 8. Taking the city bus to the sports park opposite Yankee Stadium, now the NEW Yankee Stadium, to play baseball with my 10 neighborhood guys, and hearing the cheers from Yankee Stadium when the Yanks had a big inning! Or in the winter to play touch football and hearing the crowd go crazy when the NY Football Giants scored! 9.

Playing street touch football on Nov. 24th, 1963, and a lady leans out her Apt. window screaming, "They just shot the SOB Oswald!" 16. My favorite Baseball player of all time is Bobby Richardson! 17. My Mom, rest in peace, before she passed at 88, saying, "I don't like this world, I like the OLD WORLD!" in July 2000! Thank God she's not around to see the craziness we live in now! [/QUOTE]
