__________
the Washington Senators and their slugger Harmon Killebrew
I loved that team so much - as bad as they were - I knew the stats of all of the bums on the squad
age 12 I took a bus down to DC Stadium (I lived pretty far away in the Maryland burbs) to see them play the Yankees in a night game - Killebrew was already gone by then
after the game me and my buddy waited outside by the Yankees bus trying to get Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris's autograph. no give - they just laughed at us and went straight into the bus
we were stranded and it was getting close to midnight - we got a ride home with the team's Organist who was a friend of my friend's father - we were lucky to get a ride home at all - got home very late - my parents freaked
.
