• Every pitch was a homer

  New York Yankees

  21 May 2004

  I remember my Dad taking me to my first Yankee game (in 1963). We got there two hours before game time and watched the Yanks warm up and do batting practice. We went down to the field box, first row and watched Mickey Mantle belt homers into left, center and right fields. Every pitch was a homer. We were so close to home plate I'll never forget how he smiled throughout the entire practice. If ever there was a person who truly loved his job, it was Mantle. What an inspiration! What an awesome sight to see the God gifted talent of a man do the uncommon so natural. But their (the Yanks) history is full of such men...Ruth, Gerhig, Dimaggio, Berra, Munson, etc, etc.That's the beauty of the Yanks and why they're my ultimate sports Lovemark.

  Something about my eyes watering everytime I see it that makes me yearn for the kindler, gentler, simpler days. Can't help reflecting how time/life is moving faster with each passing day. Gotta go now...my boy's playing Little League and I don't want to miss a second of it.
