Here is my personal baseball top 10 events. These are events that I was present at (watching on TV doesn’t count). Also, since I have a Mets-specific Top 10, I will not include any Mets’ events here. So here goes…
10 | Attending the 1st Hall of Fame Game weekend separate from the induction ceremonies with a group of my friends. |
9 | Meeting James “Cool Papa” Bell in front of JJ Newbury’s in Cooperstown on Induction weekend. |
8 | Being served my lunch by Bobby Valentine at his former restaurant in Norwalk, CT. |
7 | Being taken to my first baseball game by my parents and Grand Aunt and Uncle. |
6 | Having my father let me go up and meet Willie Mays when his question was selected in contest. |
5 | Working on my hitting with my grandfather as he “invented” a mechanism to practice with. |
4 | Most of the times spent at the Milford International Little League. |
3 | The Milford Wasson League 16-year-old Babe Ruth team (with my son Bobby) wins the 2003 CT State Championship. |
2 | Danny goes over the fence to rob a grand-slam homerun as a 12-year old All-Star for the Milford International Little League. |
