To Mariann Pepitone: Thanks for your comments. When I was growing up, the Chicago Cubs had a first baseman named Joe Pepitone, formerly of the New York Yankees. If he is related to you and still alive, tell him I said hello. He was a dead pull hitter and a great glove man at first base, and one of my all time favorites. He probably imbibed in adult beverages a little bit more than he should have, and chased after women (or maybe they chased him) a little bit more than he should have, but he was one player I would pay admission to the ballpark to see play.
