Did the Spaceman ask you for a dime so he could make a phone call?

Great content here. You have a book in you that needs to be written.

Loved your memory of old Cocoa Stadium, which was actually located in the City of Cocoa, on the mainland, NOT Cocoa Beach, which was close to Kennedy Space Center on The Cape. (minor detail)..

Leo Durocher was the Astros manager in 1973 (his last managing job). He was always trying to hit-up our pretty blonde- bombshell, local sports reporter, during spring-training that season. (As a matter-of-fact, so was I) I think he had more luck.

Anyway, thanks Richard for your writing over the years,

Jeff Kades TODAY newspaper, 1972-73
