Yankee fans

[LibSuperstar]

Any Yankee fans here old enough to have watched Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle?

JJ saw Babe Ruth play

Nobody went to those Yankee games, they were too crowded.

i watched games of mantle's with my dad that he had in tapes or they would show on cable at that time.

I walked past Yogi at Turning Stone Casino, about 20 years ago. Was surprised how short he was.

[Dr. Fager]

Attended his last three games at Fenway Park in '68, he actually sat out the middle game. I got my only foul ball ever, during the series (still have it) off the bat of Reggie Smith prior to homering. Always a fan of "The Mick", despite growing up in Red Sox territory. Injuries hampered his career but still a HOF'er. His one regret he said in an interview, was not attaining a .300 lifetime BA. I believe he ended up at .297, still not too shabby, especially for the cuts he was famous for.

I can only imagine. But how about the folks who watched them at home?

I shook Mickey's hand and got an autograph when I was about 10 years old.

When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

Ace memory!

You missed the joke. He was referencing a famous Yogi-ism, and we have been responding to each other with other ones.

Nobody goes there any more, it's too crowded
