Joe P.About your father, my condolence.
My father, a NY Giants -- McGraw and Luque fan, passed away in 1984.
He's very much alive in my mind, and I miss him very much.
Prior to 1991, I spent 60 years in NYC.
In NYC anything is possible.
God only knows if your father and I ever crossed paths.
One thing I do know about your father, and this is something that only a person that was around prior to 1957 would understand and relate to.
Anyone after 1957 just wouldn't have anything to compare it to.
The Brooklyn Dodgers fans were in a class and level all to themselves.
No one in any sports were a close second.
I didn't realize it then -- I was too envolved despising them.
Now I miss them.
They were the Greatest.

The Goob:
1. "sorry if i upset you"

Come on Gary, this is all about Vintage, and what I thought was a post that was more suitable for a San Francico Giants forum -- just an opinion -- no big deal -- no one is upset here.
Now BUSH upsets me, and I'm sure that we both can agree that it isn't a suitable Vintage topic.
The Goob:
2. "you act like i've been taxing the board somehow by asking questions"

Gary, let me try this a again.
I ask vintage questions, you ask vintage questions, everyone ask vintage questions.
EVERYONE trys to give an answer or an opinion to the vintage question.
Some will kid.
Some will jab.
Some will just try to have a little fun when the opportunity presents itself.
Opinions may vary from one another.
That doesn't mean that the person is upset.
It just means that they have a different take.
Gary,
Let's Honor your father and my father.
Let's Send The Bums Back To Brooklyn! 
The Jints Back To Manhattan!
Think about it.
The Bums In Brooklyn.
The Jints in Manhattan.
The Yanks in Da Bronx.
Da Mets in Queens.
Talk about an explosive Big Apple.
