To convince all of you just how old I am I remember going to Sportsman's Park, on North Grand, before The first Busch Stadium was even on the drawing board. I vividly remember ball players named Maris and Mantle sitting on a team bus, before air conditioning, waiting to go to the hotel. They had been playing the Browns. Each was sitting by the window. I went to Mick and asked for his autograph and my school buddy went to Maris and asked for his. Mantle told me with a scowl "get lost kid." Maris said to my friend "sure kid give me your scorecard", and he signed. Maris then called to me and said he would be glad to sign mine too. It was at that point that the devil in me made me tell Mantle he was a jerk. Yes I really did. Mantle did not say a thing he just looked sooo troubled by it all. You could tell he and Maris did not get along. I also remember many summer nights when you could hear Harry Cary throught the neighborhood where I grew up.
Good memories, even with jerks like Mantle.
