We remember Mickey Mantle (1931-1995)

We remember Mickey Mantle who was born in Oklahoma on this day in 1931.  His Hall of Fame page tells the story.

Mickey Mantle's funeral took place in Dallas, Texas back in August 1995.    It reminded me of those days when we all loved Mick and his baseball exploits.

We remember Tom Petty (1950-2017)

We remember Tom Petty who was born in Florida on this day in 1950.   He passed away in 2017 or a couple of days before he turned 67. 

Petty's guitar was the common denominator in all of his songs. And you can still hear his music all over the radio.

It's hard to pick a favorite but "The waiting" from 1981 is great.
