62 years young!. Grew up in West Philly. Phils pitcher Art Mahaffey lived 2 blocks away. Our family physician, Dr. Walker was the Phils M.D.! Mr. Mahaffey gave me an autographed baseball, circa 1965 or so... I ran out of "hardballs", which we called them, and decided to use the autographed ball for one of our daily baseball games. LOL! Our local neighborhood all began playing Strat in '69.
