SABATH A. MELE

May the God of All Comfort give you peace.

I was the Twins spring training batboy from 1964-67 and worked in the Twins clubhouse during the pennant year of 1965. I will always cherish those fond memories, among them Sam's love for bubble gum, which he always held out his hand for when I walked by. It got to where he wouldn't ask, just hold out his hand. The reporters interviewing him on the field thought that was really cool! RIP, Sam. I'm sure there's bubble gum in Heaven. If I make it there, I'll hand it to you.

Upon hearing of the sad news many memories came rushing back to me. From the first time I was able to see all of Mr. mele' s accomplishments in his home in Quincy, photos trophies of ball players I had come to admire being a young baseball player myself, I was in awe just being in that room!
I remember my mom going to Bingo and coming home telling me how she had seen Mrs. Mele there and said to say hi.
I remember Marsha whom I had went to high school with and her sisters whom I was...
