Jim, I couldn't sleep tonight so I checked your site out. Looks great. I've been watching the Bronx is burning too. My baseball memory was my Dad taking me to game 2 of the series at Yankee stadium. It was fantastic. Here is one for you in 1977. Son of Sam-Jim O'Connor and Sean going in the Montego to look for Son of Sam.
