0

That means I have one day a month — Sunday — to be with my kids by myself on my time. It’s not enough time to do anything. I’m thinking when I come into town, they should be able to spend the time with me, not be stuck going to a soccer game. Their mother says, “After the game.” What’s good ex-etiquette?

However, there is one name that may not come immediately to mind, a name that may not have the same flair as “Lefty,” “Dizzy” or “Spud.” But his impact on the history of America’s pastime during those decades cannot be questioned.
