Mickey was the neighborhood kid who hosted every other neighborhood kid on the block. His grandmother, Gargy, always had goodies for the kids. For his love of sports, particularly baseball at the time, we kids learned to love the game in a unique way. He was privileged to own a board game called APBA and everyone got hooked on it. Although I was a loyal Yankees fan, we'll never forget his loyal and true friendship.
