Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 My first memory is of going to Ebbets Field in the summer of 1950 with my father. I was almost six, and the ballpark was a twenty-minute walk from our second-story apartment in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. I remember the colors vividly. #2 I was a big sports fan, and would spend hours listening to the games on the radio. I would spend hours collecting baseball cards, and memorizing the statistics. #3 I loved playing sports as a kid, but I loved watching them even more. I would rather go to a Dodger game than play in a game in a park down the street. I dreamed of announcing Major League baseball.
