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
