Okay, this is MFY related, but hey I'm talking about couple of guys who hailed from Claussen Point in Da Bronx: Few weeks back, when the Mantle stamp was announced the US Postmaster General John Potter threw out the first ball. Well, his dad was a lifetime Yankee fan, and wasn't in the best shape, so after the game, Potter inscribed the ball and presented it to his father. His father died over the weekend, he would have been 80 on Tuesday. Anyway, apparantly that ball, along with a Yankee cap went in the coffin. I'll drink to that kind of tribute! = Wonder if I can start a pettiton to get a Joan Payson stamp = Or a Gil Hodges
