Best wishes go out to Mel Stottlemyre this Christmas.
Former New York Yankees pitcher Mel Stottlemyre is in the hospital “fighting for his life,” according to his son Todd in a Facebook post Friday.
Mel Stottlemyre started the first game I ever attended, a game at Yankee Stadium against the Red Sox in September of 1969. I don’t remember much of the game, although the Yankees won in a walk-off win. I do remember Stottlemyre, who was a pretty good hitter for a pitcher, hitting a triple and being driven in by Horace Clarke. I was also excited to see Thurman Munson start the game, as he was a September call up. Munson wound up with the game winning hit in the game.
