Comments on: The Hall of Fame’s haul from last night http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/09/22/the-hall-of-fames-haul-from-last-night/ A New York Yankees blog by Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:51:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Paul http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/09/22/the-hall-of-fames-haul-from-last-night/comment-page-1/#comment-542711 Paul Mon, 22 Sep 2008 20:26:18 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/09/22/the-hall-of-fames-haul-from-last-night/#comment-542711 Pete -- The Jim Farley touch is nice. When I was a kid, and Memorial Day was always held on May 30, the Yankees always had a Memorial Day doubleheader. My parents would take me and a few friends up to see the games (after watching the parade -- itself a huge treat with real tanks and military bands and contingents from the Service Academies). May 30 was also Jim Farley's birthday, and he would always be at the game. The Yankees would always wish him a Happy Birthday on the scoreboard. I don't remember if Bob Sheppard would also announce it, but I do remember Mr. Farley standing up in his seat and waving to the crowd as well as I remember Mickey Mantle and some of the others hitting during those games. It was just one of those things that made you feel special as a Yankee fan during the mid and late 1960's, when things weren't going so well on the field. Pete — The Jim Farley touch is nice.
