Norm loved baseball, and the Yankees in particular. But he also loved the Oakland Athletics, so when they got together to play it was a match made in heaven. I had the good fortune to attend an A's / Yankees game with Norm in Oakland on August 12, 2001 - Norm was what? A spry 80 years young then? The A's won a dramatic game in the bottom of the 9th on Jason Giambi's two-run walk-off shot, his 29th. Norm celebrated that game as not one of, but the very best game he had ever witnessed. He talked about that game for years afterwards! I also got a taste of his idiosyncratic proclivity of talking to not one, but everyONE we encountered on BART and in our seat section! EVERYone! What a great memory to be able to share with his family! Son-in-law Tom McGuire (husband of Mary Corbin)
