Great TR Tom...thanks so much for sharing.
You're darn right someone has a sense of humor! B.B. Alpine Club? Bronx Bombers Old Timers Day Climb. Hahahhahaha...I wonder who would think to write this in a summit register???
Joe Pepitone and Whitey Ford? LOL
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Pepitone
"Pepitone spent four months at Rikers Island jail in 1988 for two misdemeanor drug convictions after he and two other men were arrested on March 18, 1985, in Brooklyn after being stopped by the police for running a red light in a car containing nine ounces of cocaine, 344 quaaludes, a free-basing kit, a pistol and about $6,300 in cash.[3] Coverage of the story by WOR-TV (Channel 9) in the New York area featured clips of an incredulous Pepitone declaring, "I didn't know cocaine was illegal", and his brother Vinnie, a New York City detective, staunchly defending his character.[citation needed] He was released from jail on a work-release program when Yankee owner George Steinbrenner offered him a job in minor-league player development for the team.[4]"
Whitey Ford was the pitcher, so he would have been the guy throwing a "fair heater".
