"Bringing mirth, merriment, (maybe just a smidge of mayhem) & unconditional enlightenment to the masses through verse, imagery, and any random way I can."
Exactly 6 years ago, I lost one of the most important people in my life. Do me a favor and make sure you tell those closest to you how much you LOVE them. I love you, Mom! I miss you sooooo much!
One of my favorite memories of going to Disneyland in the past was when my Mom would take us to get Mickey Mouse pancakes. She used to make them for me and my sister at home too. So today at "the happiest place on earth", Katie and I made a point of getting breakfast at the River Belle Terrace. Mom always wanted to see Disneyland at Christmas time, but never got to. Yesterday I know she was with me!
I had a couple of occasions to meet and interview Bob Feller and he was not only one of the finest pitchers of all time, but a great American. His stories of both baseball and his time in the military were legendary in our eyes. It was way cool that some nobody minor league radio person got to hear some of his a mega Hall Of Fame tales!
He was as crusty as they come and quite honestly very bitter that players of the more modern era "couldn't hold his jock and were making millions" (he actually said this to me after tape stopped rolling on an interview I was doing with him) and he had some very interesting things to say about Mickey Mantle as I had the pleasure of interviewing Bob on the day of Mantle's death, but I think I'll keep that between me & Bob. Thanks #19 for all the great stories!
