When I was a child, dad told me about seeing Lou Gehrig play for Hartford in the Eastern League. He said, "Even the you know there was something special about this man."
Dad watched the Yankees in the 30's, 40s and 50s - World Series after World Series. It was Joe effortless play that he appreciated.
Dad had the opportunity to meet Walter Johnson.
During some tough Yankee years, Roy White played hard everyday and made the most of his ability. He played with class.
