Born in Pittsburgh, PA -- 1952...
My father took me to my first game in 1960. Bob Gibson was in town. I couldn't believe my eyes.
A few months later, my father's boss gave him tickets to Game 7 of the World Series.
You've never seen an 8-year-old kid so psyched!
Hours before the game, my dad's boss "demanded" the tickets back, so he could take an "important" client, instead.
I learned the cruel realities of life at an early age!!!
Saw Stargell's final game, too.
