I lived in The Bronx so I was a Yankee Fan until 1962. (remember rushing home from school just in time to see Bill Mazeroski hit that homer in 60 I was crushed). My parents felt that Casey Stengel got a raw deal from the Yankees so we all became Met fans and still are to this day. The Mets won their first championship on my 18th birthday. Best Birthday present ever.

Football I was a Giants fan Sam Huff was my idol. Had 70 on everything I owned. The Giants traded him in 1964 to the Washington Redskins and I was "the fan to be named later" . Didn't understand trades as a 12 YO.
