Giambi in New York…and better baseball memories…

Giambi is falling into gigantic disfavor with Yankee fans. He simply is not hitting; fanning a lot and leaving a lot of men stranded. His excuse:”I’m coming around slowly.” He’s being booed every time he steps on the field or at bat in Yankee Stadium because he’s making a zillion and is performing like a has been or never was.
I vividly remember playing catch in my Passaic,NJ home driveway and listening to the 1948 World Series at the same time. I remember walking home from school at the end of game 1 of the 1949 WS with a portable held to my ear. Henrich is up, last of the ninth, no score and then hits one into the rightfield seats. I remember hearing the last of the 9th called by Russ Hodges on 10/3/51 on a large Philco in the room of Miss Weber, our 8th grade science teacher. She was old, fat, ugly and smelly but quite loved because of that radio.
