I grew up in a small college town of Edmond, OK.\u00a0 Played little league baseball and was\u00a0a huge baseball fan and baseball card collector back then.\u00a0 My\u00a0favorite team was the New York Yankees.\u00a0 Of course because of Mickey Mantle from Oklahoma.\u00a0 A friend of mine asked me if I&#8217;d like to go with him and his parents to Kansas City to see them play the New York Yankees. I was so excited and I got to watch the Kansas City Athletics (now in Oakland) play the New York Yankees in 1962 with Mickey, Roger, Yogi and all the great Yankees. Over the years, I had forgot about the pennant that I bought at the game.\u00a0 When my mother passed away several years ago, she had a box full of things from my childhood.\u00a0 Inside the box was that pennant I bought in 1962.\u00a0 Today, it&#8217;s framed and on my wall in the active\u00a0senior apartment I live in&#8230;\u00a0that I see everyday to remind me of that great day in 1962, my first Major League Baseball\u00a0game\u00a0I saw live and in person. Thank you for all you do to combat prostate cancer.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been blessed with good health, but I&#8217;m glad you&#8217;re there if I need you as I grow older.\u00a0 And oh, would I love to see a World Series game or an All Star game before I die, which would take me back to my childhood, something marvelous when you&#8217;re\u00a0old."}
