70 years ago, my Tocayo's father scored his first hit in Major League Baseball.. On that day in 1955, Roberto Clemente debuted for the Pittsburgh Pirates in right field as a 20-year-old newcomer to the Steel City. 

As stated by the sports writers, "No one could see into the future that day, but according to Puerto Rican broadcaster and journalist Luis Mayoral, 'Clemente was our [Puerto Rico’s] Jackie Robinson. He was on a crusade to show the American public what a Hispanic man, a black Hispanic man, was capable of.”

It’s Los Angeles vs. New York. They meet once again in a World Series Classic for the first time since 1981. On the first day of the start of the series, my former college roomie —born and bred in Brooklyn— and I had the following exchange: 

Me: “Go Dodgers!!!”

Roomie: “Damn the Dodgers.!!! We supported them through all the bad years. And then they finally win the World Series and they pack up and move to California. The hell with them and their progeny!!!”
