I was lucky enough to hear those stories (and photos)from my grandfather about playing minor league ball with future HOF players, Mel Gray the one-armed player of the Memphis Chicks, messing around during an exhibition with Lou Costello, playing in Canada under a fake name with my grade school coach, and having their team sponsored by the singer Kate Smith.

Well thanks, Jay—just read your article about your dad and now I’ve got tears running down my face and I don’t even know you!
But seriously, I enjoyed both articles immensely; just really great writing!
