   The baseball legend who those of us of a certain age   
   wanted to be the one who broke Babe Ruth's home run record   
   has died,with the Wikipedes using a statement from the   
   office of the Commissioner of Baseball as source in   
   substitution for a CBS News story.   
   Born May 6th 1931,he died June 18th 2024.   
      
   I saw his 660th and final home run (for the Mets against the   
   Reds) on live television in 1973.   
   I suppose with the official historical revisionism that is   
   no longer his major league career total but I don't know   
   how many he had with the Birmingham Black Barons.   
   Of course he missed out on the time he spent in the military   
   and a time when he was being encouraged by Giants management   
   to hit inside-the-park hits rather than home runs.

   The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,   
   at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
