I also grew up in what is now called East Flatbush. My father took me
to a Dodgers game in 1955, when I was 7. I don't remember anything
about it. I was bored to tears, had no idea what was going on, and we
left early. Pop never took me to another baseball game.

I remember my dad taking me to Seals Stadium the first year the Giants
came out, 1958. It was much more memorable to me. Willie Mays. Arguably
the greatest all-around ever. 'Nuff said.
He's 92, and in this morning's paper was an article that the Giants will
be playing the Cardinals next year (6/20/24) in Alabama's Rickwood
Field, the Negro Leagues field that he first played in for the
Birmingham Black Barons. He was 16.
