Great story SANDY.


My daughter, Zoe, was 7 years old when I took her to her first BB game. In the Summer of 1973, we were at the
Old Timer's Day game at Yankee Stadium.

I recall it as it was yesterday......Whitey Ford was pitching and Mantle was at bat. Ford grooved one to Mantle.
Mickey hit it into the stands. The 67,000 fans went wild. I think that this was Mickey's last HR at the Stadium.

Zoe was really thrilled; and, since then #7 has always been her favorite number.
