Message: [QUOTE="veryolddog, post: 3707530, member: 129"] While growing up in Albuquerque in the 40's and 50's, there was radio listening to the Yankees and Red Sox play with stars like Ted Williams, and Joe Dimaggio. In the 50's we had TV in the home and frequently watched the Dodgers and the Giants compete. Willie Mays, Jack Robinson, Duke Snider, Don Newcombe and Pee Wee Reese. Baseball was the people's sport of the day. All the kids played "sandlot" ball. We even had the ABQ Dukes to watch occasionally. Saw him once catch a baseball running to the wall without turning around. A great ball player but a greater man. Say Hey, Willie. [/QUOTE]
