My first game was June 8th 1969. i was about to turn 7 in September and it is one of my first memories. It was Mickey Mantle day and my dad and I drove down from upstate NY. I remember my father putting me on his shoulders so I could see the ceremony that took place between games. Of course I have no recollection of who won that day ( I have since looked at the box scores many times) but what a day for a 6 year old.
Knowing my father I am sure we ate at Mama Leone's and at Nathan's as we stayed overnight at my grandmothers on the Grand Concourse.
