Wow, and I missed it

I have grown up a Dodgers fan since I first started watching baseball.

Could quote the lineup from heart. Had a first-baseman’s mitt with Steve Garvey’s signature (fake, I know) in the palm. Cried when they lost to the Yankees and Reggie Jackson in ’77 and ’78.

Reminder: Early in my media career, I was at the early days of Turner Field and was at a urinal next to Reggie and said, “Hey, you’re Reggie Jackson?” And he said, “Yep, and I still will be after I leave the bathroom pal,” with some added anatomy terms thrown in. That was a humiliation I can still feel.
