My dad new everything about baseball.

He took me to the old 'league park' where we lived in Cleveland and told me the legends played there.

It looked liked a 'little' league park ...

"if you caught the ball outta the park they would let you into the game if you gave them the ball back" ...



I will never forget that ...

before television --- 'sound' movies !

My aunt knew all the players on the team for fifty years ...

some personally --- one lived on her street !

I was 8 years old and the thrill of my life at that time was having Dixie Walker of the Dodgers, who lived in a fancy part of my Brooklyn neighborhood, walk into my father's candy store and buy something from me.
