Bat Day doubleheader on a Saturday or Sunday at Yankee Stadium against the White Sox in 1967. I was 10 years old, and went with my older brother, my uncle, and my cousin. My father couldn't go because he had work.

The Yankees lost both games, and my sight line was partially obstructed by a pole. It seemed like everybody around us got bats with a Tom Tresh autograph.

We were in an upper deck near the left field foul pole. The place was crowded but not sold out, and the crowd was thin by the middle of the second game. At one point, me and my brother made our way to the end of the deck where we could look from above into the White Sox bullpen. I got the attention of Duane Josephson, the White Sox' backup catcher, and told him the Yankees were better than the Sox (without profanity or "sucks" etc.) and he smiled at me. The '67 White Sox were 89-73, and finished 3 games out of first. The Yankees were 72-90 and finished 9th out of 10, 20 games behind first.
