gathered at Yankee Stadium for the All-Star game. Highlights included a
top-drawer pitching game by Bob Feller and a homer by Joe DiMaggio.

Amazing. Before my time, yet I know who DiMaggio and Feller were, and I
can't name one of today's baseball players.

DiMaggio retired in 1951. I never got to see him play. But I did get to
see his "replacement" play many times. The replacement, of course, was
"the Mick," Mickey Mantle.



That is because you spend all your time on the net and do not have a life.
