“Today in this Stadium, there is no one that’s happier to be on this field than myself,” he said, choking up. “This is such a shock to me because the era I played in is an era where, for the most part, the Yankees have tried over the years, I think, somewhat to forget a little bit…”
Not the most loyal Yankee fans who do not forget you, RIP.

Rest in peace, Mel.
The first game that I ever attended was with Mel pitching for the Yankees. As I recall, he didn’t have a great game, with Killebrew hitting a homer and him getting called out for passing another base runner.
He was a classy guy, and a good sportsman. For those who remember him, he will be missed.

I saw him, Thurmon Munson and Gene Michael at Woodbridge Center in 1972 or so and got an autograph.
