Journal Article
A Bookmaker's Son
2019
Overview
Every fan I ever met had a defining, first memory about baseball and when it became more than just a game. Since I was seven years old, baseball has been my passion. After Game 4 of the 1941 World Series, my heart and soul had been given to the New York Yankees. That primordial moment came when I heard radio announcer Bob Elson describe Tommy Henrich's dash to first base after Mickey Owen muffed the third strike for what should have been the final out. The 1946 season was a bitter disappointment, but the Newark Bears, the Yankees top AAA International League farm team, gave me great hope for 1947 with three terrific September call- ups. Yogi Berra, built like a fire plug, didn't look like a catcher but maybe could make it in the outfield, hit everything thrown near him; Bobby Brown, also a lefthanded batter, smooth, stylish, like Berra always making contact; and Vic Raschi, a horse of a pitcher who won his two late season starts.
