[AGL] UT builds

[Michael Eisenstadt]

I went to Ebbetts Field to see the Dodgers play a number of times. You used
to be able to get free tickets from the Police Athletic League at the 
nearest
precinct house. There were 2 Yankee fans on our block. Many years later,
through complicated social interactions, wife Madelon & I wound up as the
guests of Mitch Miller (sing along with Mitch) in the owner's box at the 
Yankee
Stadium to see the Yankees play. Danny Cater of South Austin was then 
playing
for the Yankees. Called out of the bullpen and told that Madelon Lonnie 
Umlauf
wanted to say hi, he looked up at her and said "Lonn, are you up here too?"
