As a kid I was a Yankee fan my mother loved the Mick. We saw Mick hit three homeruns in a double header late in his career. They looked like three pop ups that just kept on gong.

Football I was a packer fan.

I did see Namath at his first intra squad scrimmage with the jets in long island some where. They had three quarterbacks that year. John huert from notre dam he won the heismann, namath Alabama he won a heismann in one of her college years and a back they wanted to look at as a quertback who also won a heismann joe bellino?

Namath was overly excited in that first scrimmage. He was firing the ball so hard no one could catch it that day.

The biggest celebrity fan of the jets that I can remember was a kids show host called captain kangaroo he never missed a game.
