These Yankees pages are a personal favorite of mine and are dedicated to my father, Mel, a diehard Yankee Fan, who had instilled in me a fascination for the Yankees, the players, and the history of baseball. At the tender age of four, mid summer of 1953, I accompanied my parents to the old Tiger Stadium to take in a Yankees vs Detroit game. With Yogi Berra catching and Mickey Mantel in the field, I only wish I could remember it.
