I was born in 49 and when old enough to watch the Yankees, who were on every weekend. Then more teams made the game of the week. I went to Chicago with my dad to visit family and at their home, I was shocked to find the Cubs on all the time. We went to Wrigley for a game and saw Stan Musial hit a grand slam and Ernie Banks a solo. I fell in love with both,
I didn't realize I was seeing two HOF players. Willie was and still is one of the greatest of greats! Gave up the basket catch for more playing time.
