Isn't it ironic? Tom was terriffic, back when the Mets were Amazin',
the Yankees had Mister October, Reggie Jackson and other superstars,
who were wiry, rather than "buffed" up! I met Daryl Strawberry, while
I was at a luncheon, last year and he's still wiry, can probably still
hit a bat, has a winning personality, gave me his autograph, because I
gave him words of encouragement and told him to get his "act"
together, because I believed in him, as do so many others! I gave him
my "Mama" speech, the kind, older Black elders, are prone to do, when
they love someone.
I loved Thurmon Munson, tragically killed and I loved it, when
Baseball was just a game, my boys played over in Neptune, in the Pony
Leagues at the SAME ballfields, on Jumping Brook Road and Old Corlies
ave. They looked like 2 little "bobble-heads", in their uniforms! I
began getting my "tan" in March, when the season opened. My youngest
son, played Babe Ruth, until he entered Glassboro, now Rowan. I now
follow Legion Baseball and was at the All-Star Game at Monmouth
University, back in the summer. I was thrilled to be amongst kids
from Monmouth County playing against Ocean County. Not caring who
won, but the sportsmanship being taught that day.
