"No I don't! Didn't watch, won't watch.

I live in NYC. I am a lifelong Yankees fan. Hate Boston! Hate L.A. since their Brooklyn Dodgers days at Ebbets Field.

If I was rooting, I would root for both to lose."

LOL ...... bless you, really.

I'm a 71 year old Pittsburgher who as a 13 year old boy watched our ragtag Pirates beat the FANTASTIC 1960 Yankees ...... a team that was almost a walking All Star team. The Yankees scored a total of 55 runs, we scored 27.

Anyhow, Your Yankees now are a great team. I root for you guys now because I like Aaron Judge ........ and still feel sorry for Casey Stengel and Yogi Berra.

;-)

Be well ......... and go get 'em next year!

PS ___ That broke my heart tooo when 'Da Bums skipped town. That was disgusting.. Old Ebbets Field was a gem. I still remember all those good old guys...... Gil Hodges was one of my favorite players for Brooklyn.

Pee Wee Reese was mine...

Remember the ‘Brooklyn Symphonie’, marching around Ebbets Field....really a clever way of getting into the game when sold out...

Gladys Gooding - The only person (at the time) that ever played for the Dodgers, Rangers and Knicks in the same season.

Red Barber and his ‘Full of Brooklyns’ and other ‘down home’ descriptions.

That young kid coming up for his first game -Vince Scully who most of us figured would NEVER be able to outlast the greats of the days, NOW he is being heralded as the best ever and RETIRING after all these years.
NOW that should make a certain fan base feel old as hell to have been ‘on hand’ when Vince Scully began and just recently see a ‘feeble old man’ retire....<: <: <:

Happy Felton and his ‘Knothole Gang’....Looking back on Happy -he sure stikes me of being ‘light in the loafers’ when seeing and thinking of him today not as a ‘naive, star struck’ 10 yearold.

Again, no ‘proof’ just remembering his ‘actions’ then and he was probably just a nice guy who genuinely liked helping kids BUT today we (supposedly) can’t give the man/woman the benefit of the doubt —— Just go ahead and charge them with something and worry about the facts later.

We have progressed so far, definitely a much different world from when I was growing up...

When TV first came to our town, the Fire House had one and certain of us were allowed to watch the baseball games.

My particular ‘talent’ was I could tell you all the Brooklyn Dodgers vital stats and the Home Town Volunteers would ‘show me off’ to visiting firemen and dignitaries that found it ‘necessary’ to vist the local station when a ball game was on the TV.

Having a birthday in early Oct, my ‘worst’ present was Dodgers finishing # 2 until 1955 when it became the BEST BIRTHDAY ever.

Imagine that, the BASEBALL World Series, in the bag before OCT 9.....here we are pushing November and still playing....
