I will enter more here when I have some time to do it right. With a baby on the way (any day, any minute???) it's tough. Today is also our baby Elissa's 1st Birthday! I just put her down for a nap, so I got a few minutes... I am a native New Yorker, born right near Yankee Stadium at Yonkers Professional Hospital. My first home was an apartment in Da Bronx. My family moved to Westchester when I was still young, then I moved back to the city (Manhattan) when I was 19. Life changed, jobs changed, etc. I ended up moving to New Jersey (via Ft. Lauderdale FL) because my Ex's family lived there. I have been in NJ ever since (about 15 years now, out of 42). I am re-married to a beutiful Wife who I will love more than the Yankees, for the rest of my life. I have (as mentioned) a new baby on the way, who will be named Tommy John! He will make it SEVEN between us. Two from my 1st marriage, two from our marriage, and she had 3 when we met. There are no step kids or half brothers/sisters in our home though!!! We are all one family, although when all together, it is tough to fit in one vehicle! Unfortunatly there aren't many times we can get EVERYONE together. Ranging in age from 1-17 at present, it's tough, and they don't all live with us year round. But we have our hands full, and soon to be much fuller. I am a die-hard, devout Yankee Fan from birth. My family lived and died Yankees, even in the thin years. My Father used to hang out with several of the players in the Orangeburg Pub years back, not far from Thurman Munsons House in Norwood. So as a kid, I got to meet many of the mid 70s team members! Imagine walking into a place at 12 years old and seeing Sparky Lyle, Munson, Catfish Hunter, etc.... I was astonished, THANKS DAD! So, I decided it was time to do a blog, since I had already decided to make a Yankees tribute page on my personal website. I will just link the two together. Thats all for right now, more later!
