(13,925 posts)1. As a kid I was a Yankee fan, but my little league team was named the Pirates. l remember where I was when Mazeroski
beat the Yankees in the world series. In a duck pin bowling alley. I was 7 at the time and still remember it like it was yesterday. A special moment in my life, I guess.

If I wasn't at the game, like you I'd be listening to Bob Prince call the game on KDKA.
