I have many fond memories of my dad taking me to my first game in the 60's and also of taking him to old-timers day ever year in his later years. I also have great memories of the stadium with my own son, in particular David Wells' perfect game! I will be going to the stadium tomorrow, as well as this coming Sunday - the ginal game at Yankee Stadium. I'm sure that Sunday will be an emotional day for me, and for many others that grew up attending Yankee games in the House that Ruth built.

This often turns inot a debate and especially while playing. Not only can you actually break a sweat, the game/sport requires a great amount of timing, accuracy, strength, and strategy. It can be played one-on-one, one-on-two, or two-on-two. The game moves extremely fast, denying anyone the ability to warm up as do other typical sports. In foosball, you could be defeated in less than 2 minutes...what a sport! As with other sports, foosball requires an offense and a defense and the same "athlete" must be good at both. The best reason for this "sport" is the sportsmanship needed. I have never participated or even witnessed a foosball fight...now that is a real sport. You play the hard-fought game, and when it's over, you reach over the table to shake your opponent's sweaty palm. Now where can we say that about our other sports and their sportsmanship!! The final criteria is you do not have to be an A-1 conditioned athlete to enjoy this sport. My friends and I often ask each other: is foosball a sport since it’s so different than the typical games?

I reference "Go Big Blue," Super Bowl XLII, as well as the other football pieces but especially the Giants helmet, there's always excitement. Every helmet is unique (or at least mine are) and they all represent specific memories, mostly good but always picturesque.

In addition, it always reminds me of summers as a kid, coming home from the beach with my dad, and hearing the game on the car radio. Actually, no matter which male I was in a car with on a summer weekend for the past 49 years, the game was on the radio!
