I was 8 years old and remember it like it was yesterday. Every Saturday afternoon during baseball season in that period of my life was spent at my Grandparents house watching Yankee games with my Grandfather, Dad and Uncles.
Got to see him play at Yankee Stadium at least once before he passed. I still remember Thurman hitting a foul ball completely out of the stadium, and me in my young naivete, looking for that foul ball outside when we left the park after the game.
