One of the wildest stories you may read today ⬇️
A couple accidentally showed up to a game with tickets to the next night's game
So they bought 2 more tickets and ended up catching Willy Adames' home run ball
Then they came back the next night with their original tickets, sitting nearly in the exact same spot as the night before ...
Then Adames hit another home run and they caught it AGAIN 🤯

One of my favorite memories of John was him reading a book across the aisle from me on a Yankees flight. When the plane hit severe turbulence, all the oxgen masks dropped. John never flinched. He just kept reading, the mask swinging in front of him.
