I know they can’t live forever, but I’m still sad when baseball legends pass away . Some died early in life: Roger Maris, Don Drysdale, Mickey Mantle.

Sandy Kofax and Yogi Berra are still alive. They are probably the last of my childhood sports heroes.

I saw Harmon play when I was just knee high. Griffith Stadium when he was still a Washington Senator. I remember when he, Allison, Sievers, etc. came to visit my Little League in their grey flannel uniforms.
