On Day 28 I’m going to celebrate my late father’s birthday (January 28th) with the picture of a 20 year old Brooks with Carl Sawatski, at the time, with the Milwaukee Braves. I mentioned earlier that my dad was originally from NJ and when he was young he was friends with the Sawatski kids, (Marcella, Chester and Carl), when they lived in Mountain View, NJ. My father played both football and baseball with Carl when he was younger and followed Carl’s career in baseball. My dad really liked the Sporting News picture with Carl and Brooks since he was a fan of both of these great guys. It’s just a fond memory I have of my father telling me all about growing up and playing sports with some really tough and unique individuals (was definitely a different era).
