It was the Spring of 1964. Yes, you read that correctly …1964. 60-years ago! I was a kid who loved playing and watching baseball. It was a time when baseball was king. It was America’s pastime. Living south of Boston, I was a huge Red Sox fan. Growing up, Ted Williams was a Boston sports icon, and in 1961, Carl Yastrzemski took over the mantle from Ted, as the leader of the Sox.

Ravens and Lions fans are hurting. They were so close to seeing their teams win title games and vault into the Super Bowl. But they didn’t.

The funny thing is (or maybe it’s a little sad), I wouldn’t want to be young in today’s world. I’m somewhat glad to be my age. I’ve lived as a proud and grateful American, and I was fortunate to have an eventful and enjoyable life.…
