Ironically the forward is done by both his late dear friend and the man looked at to be the first BLACK player in baseball,the late great hall of famer,Mr. Monte Irvin,mentor to Willie Mays and the first Black player to lead the league in RBI's and steal home in the World Series in fact in his first World Series game at that.If I am correct he too had a 5 hit game and was part of the first all BLACK outfield to play in World Series. The rookie,Willie Mays would also garner the 1951 Rookie of the Year award.Congrats Harvey but no surprise excellence is your forte.GOD As the late great Art Rust Jr., would call me I sign off as,Melvin''Doc'' Stanley.TRUST*IN*GODDocStanley-TRUST*IN*GOD*https://www.blogger.com/profile/08453404125573778417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740738357992949300.post-26351893884526439312017-01-25T22:12:55.421-05:002017-01-25T22:12:55.421-05:00Harvey~ This is just wonderful!

As we approach this year's Super Bowl, having followed our favorite players and teams; all of the behind the game debacle, athlete's enduring short and long term injuries; enormous amounts of money invested and exchanged; and the wheeling and dealing of players being traded, makes one wonder why so many love the game. So looking forward to reading your take!! Cheers to another success.

Snuffy was by far the nicest player on that team. Others were nice as well, that is doing nice things or saying nice words to this nearly 13-year-old in St. Petersburg FL, but I perceived him as a person who is defined by a loving and generous nature. It's a gift to me that at this long remove that others experienced him much the same way. It was in thinking of him that I came across your writing. The Yankees brought their own batboy from New York in subsequent years, and I was "purchased" by the St. Louis Cardinals as their lead spring training batboy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740738357992949300.post-27088890210717712152014-02-04T09:50:33.853-05:002014-02-04T09:50:33.853-05:00Greetings!

I never met the man, but have become a fan of his simply through history, stories and tales that I have read about him. His friends seem to have nothing but kind words to speak of him, which speaks volumes for the man he must have been. While I am a loyal UNC football fan and supporter, I have been familiar with the name George Stirnweiss for some time. However, it was not until I recently acquired and 1939 UNC team autographed football, with his autograph on it, that really sparked my interest in Mr. Stirnweiss and his career. The more research that I have compiled, I have been amazed at the career that this man put together. Thanks to a person like yourself, thanks for taking the time to keep his memory alive and tell his story in preserving his legend. Thank you for affording others, such as myself, the opportunity to both learn and appreciate the great career and life of George Stirnweiss.

Without one, they have very little. I would hope that the Yankees make sure that his education is their number one priority, making him a better person on and off the field.

I can not believe I am the only person to comment on this so far, but it sounds like the Parks & Recreation Department along with the city of New York need to get their act togther.<br /><br />These are not unresonable ideas that you are proposing. I'm not sure what their motive is for<br />rejecting your ideas, but I'm sure it has to do with money and poltical bullshit.<br /><br />I love the idea of having a gateway into the new park, and as you had stated in the petition, it will not impede on any land. It would be kind of like a gateway into the past, if you want to look at it in that sense.<br /><br />I love the gateway renderings, as an an Auto-CAD modeler myself, I can appreciate the appearance.<br /><br />Well again, I would like to say that you make an extremely strong argument, and I hope that the city of NY and the parks and recreation department see what we see.
