....the American League beat the National League 3-1 before 62,000 fans
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.
