A Yankee fan through and through
This newsroom is primarily a hub for Dodgers fans with a couple of Red Sox and Angels fans who always look lost. That's why I took notice when Frank Annunziato of the Sons (and Daughters) of Italy walked into the newsroom today with his Yankees hat.
Annunziato, a Bronx native, grew up just 10 blocks from Yankee Stadium. In 1939, when he was 10 years old, he was at the Stadium when Lou Gehrig gave his famous speech after being diagnosed with ALS. Babe Ruth was also there and patted the young Annunziato on the head.
"I didn't wash my head for a month," Annunziato said.
Great story, Frank. We forgive you for being a Yankees fan.

Frankie, that's what I call him, is a dear, sweet, misguided man. Why do you think the Dodgers left New York in the first place? I salute him and his brothers from the lodge, I won't be able to make the dinner but will send a donation in my place. Ciao, baby.
