All arguing aside

by Yankee Clipper

 

I do not like debates and I am not rying to debate with anyone. I am a baseball fan at heart not a horse race bettor. Today the heavy rains washed out the Yankees Old Timers Game in New York. I attended a few of those in the past. One memory stays with me. It was in 1955 at a Yankees Oldtimers game which I attended and saw Ty Cobb then 65 yrs old make a plate appearence. I had grown up on Man O War as the best ever. I had read in a 1919 issue The New York Times called MOW the TY COBB of Horse Racing. Tears came to my eyes as the crowd cheered Tyrus Cobb that day. I got his autograph that day after the game and it is on the program of the day July 30, 1955. A dear memory for me.
