KV Alumni: Summer Exploits of 66

The picture below is from 6/23/63:"When New York Mets Jimmy Piersall, hits his 100th HR, he circles bases backwards."

again from Howie:
From Shatzkin's knishes to C & C soda to Yankee Stadium. Only, it was the '66 season (not '67). The vendor's locker room was directly opposite the visiting team's and both doors were always wide open. Piersall was one of the few players on the Angels that we recognized and he was in no mood to wear a towel, maybe because (see Milesones bottom) it was Jimmy's 1700th game that day. I got stuck selling scorecards in the bleachers for the first 7 innings of game one. What sealed the deal for me that this was the day we saw Jimmy P's P was that after the games we hung out for autographs - I still have the ball signed by umpires Tom Haller and Emitte Ashford (first black umpire in majors), who were part of the crew that day.
