OT: Zappa-Flight to Tampa yesterday?

I have an issue of SPORT Magazine from the 50's showing Yogi at home with his two boys before ZAP came into the world.
What's so tough about being 74?Beaced is a quarter of a century beyond that point.
wow.. I remember getting SPORT in the 70s.. but thought it was a new publication then... 1946 was when it first published.
 
Just today I got a Yogi photo in my FB feed.
I was surprised to see it because I click on nothing baseball related
I think it was posted by the museum

One grew up on Dago Hill in St. Louis.
The other grew up in the Ozarks of rural Missouri.😊❤️
They met at Stan Musial’s restaurant
There's a full page color picture of the two of them dressed up in that issue of SPORT that I mentioned yesterday.It's the June 1955 issue.You can likely pick it up for a few bucks on E-Bay.

My brother Larry.
On his way to Fla. to play in senior softball tournaments.
He’s 74 and plays 200 games a year
200 a yr that's insane for 74. In my hay day was good for at least 350 a yr. Actually did 11 games 1 day. Starting to stretch for 60 & over in a year & 1/2. Figured I better start early
 
No, he’s punching Judy now.
If I set the defense for whatever team he’s playing against he’d never get a hit😊

His forte is pitching Nighty, if he’s on he doesn’t need to contribute offensively
Forget that pitching. My brother was pitching BP in Union Cty/Linden 60+ 2 yrs ago. Got hit so hard in his shin you would've thought compound fracture. It was nasty Cut up do not recall if stitches just remember his whole foot filled up with blood top & sides. Think they had to watch him for blood clotting as well
