I am 75. I almost said I hated to admit that I am 75 but I guess I should be glad I can admit it.

First MLB game I attended. Age 12, July 1961 packed stadium in Chicago. Yankees vs Sox. Sat LF bleachers with little league team. Yogi Berra played LF and waived to us a couple times between innings. At one time the Sox were up 8-2 but the Yanks scored 2 in the 9th to tie 8-8 and then scored 1 in 10th to win 9-8. WS had 4 HRs so got to hear the scoreboard go off a bunch. Maris had 3 hits including a HR on his way to his historic season. Minnie Minoso made an outstanding defensive play.

While at home during Covid found a radio rebroadcast of the game on the internet. That was really fun listening to.
