Yes, I am indeed a Yankees fan, and I was very fond of Thurman Munson in
the kind of way we can only be with athletes we have never met.

I will always remember the day I found that he died. I had no TV or
radio, and came upon a newsbox holding the day's papers, and it was on
the front page. I was shaken more than I can say.

I don't go to the games much anymore, but occasionally I go with a couple
of other "bananafish" list subscribers or past subscribers, and we have a
good old time of it. We don't even mention Salinger once! (I still live
in NYC, but getting to and from the stadium is more effort than I care to
make, and then getting home is late, and it wrecks the next day.)

Cheers,
