Whitey Ford
Whitey Ford, the N.Y. Yankees pitcher passed away today at 91. As I was growing up, he was one of my idols. When I was 17, I met him at the old Yankee stadium. I'll smoke a cigar and raise a glass of bourbon in his honor tonight. R.I.P. Whitey.

My grandfather was a Whitey Ford fan. When the Yankees came to town to play the Kansas City Athletics he would take me to the game if Whitey was pitching. I can still hear his say, "Whitey was throwing smoke today."
