His late uncle was head groundskeeper at the old (House that Ruth built) Yankee Stadium) in Da Bronx-- twice while we had a delay leave in transit in the USMC I went to Yankees games with Lennie, his father and other chums- we got 3rd baseline seats- met Casey "Der Olde Perfesser" Stengal, before he 'retired" and ended up with the NL Mets- bad move I should guess. We also went to Coney island several times with some of his HS girl friends- and his family was involved back in 1912-13 with Nathan Handwerker and his friends in establishing the World-known "Nathan's Famous"-- great times, and I still like the Yankees for the best AL team-- used to like the Reds when pete "Charlie Hustle" Rose played, now I kinda have shifted my allegiance to the St, Louis Cards-- paid off pretty good too this past week-Shalom!!!
