No, it doesn't seem like yesterday.

Then again, neither does yesterday.

Thanks, Duque. The very first moments of baseball I ever saw, when my father told me to come watch our old, black-and-white portable.

"A time it was, and what a time it was, it was..."

Did you see that crazy overshift!? And Mickey's swing was mostly upper body. Were his legs completely gone by then?

Yeah, if they had done that ten years earlier he would've bunted between B. Robby and Stu Miller—or whacked a triple to the left-center wall.

Choo Choo himself.

That was the year I went to the Stadium and saw Mick ground out to the right fielder. Could barely move down the line.

Oh, what might have been without even some of those injuries. Incredible player.

By some miracle of fate, I was at that game. The place was really loud for a long time.
