Ralph Branca
signed my program at a Brooklyn Cyclones game a few years ago.
I had this picture of Bobby and Ralph hanging on my wall for many years.
This would be that autograph; cut out and put into the frame.
My respects to the
Thompson Family
Bobby,

I love the new header.
ReplyDeleteRIP Bobby Thompson. You had one of the greatest moment in sports.
Good lookin out. That home run still makes my head tingle every time I see it.
ReplyDeleteTo the Thompson Family my deepest sympathy. I grew up in Brooklyn NY and was a Dodger Fan but my late Dad was a Giant Fan. Yes if you were a baseball fan in that era Bobby's homerun was pretty darn great.
ReplyDeleteMay G-D protect Bobby's Soul for all eternity.
Anonymous ~ I'm sure you have stories people would find fascinating. Maybe at your leisure you can drop a story of those days in my e-mail in-box.
