Here's a blurry Polaroid of my 11 year-old self and the late Dick Howser in 1973 when he was the third base coach for the Yankees.
My uncle was receiving some type of award at a contractors dinner / award ceremony at the Amber Lantern Restaurant in Queens, NY and Dick was the guest speaker.
The award ceremony was incredibly boring for an 11 year-old (and probably for most of the adults there as well), but Dick's brief but funny speech was the highlight of the night for me (and I wasn't even a Yankees fan).
