But Wrigley is one of the last on my bucket list. Kinda sad really, I'm a Sawx fan, but never been to Fenway yet. Need Green Monster seats!!

I feel fortunate enough to have been to the old Yankee Stadium, quite a few times for a couple Sox games. That was a baseball fan's dream, next to visiting Cooperstown.. Been to old Shea Stadium a few times too. Got to watch Doc on the mound and Strawberry in the field. Was pretty cool too..

I actually saw Mickey Mantle play in the old Yankee Stadium.  Granted he was a decrepit, washed up player by then, but I did see him play.  My dad used to do a lot of business in NY when we lived in Philly.  He’d take my mom and a couple of us older siblings during the summer.

Also saw a good deal of Broadway shows.

However my big thrill, given my age, was seeing Gorilla Monsoon and his manager Wild Red Berry walking down the street.  

At least you got to see him though. He's definitely a face on MLB's Mount Rushmore. Sadly, there may be another Yankee or two with him lol

Kind of a coincidence.. After a Yankee game one night, someone that looked like George The Animal Steel tried washin my uncles windshield. Hey, ya never know lolol
