A Connecticut Yankee in New Hampshire
From the seacoast area of Portsmouth, NH I am a Connecticut Yankee Living In New Hampshire!
Why this name? I began my love for the Yankees as a child in New Haven, Connecticut – during the glory years of the 1950s. How did my love begin? I started as a Dodger fan until a very cool friend of mine set me straight. He kept talking about Yogi Berra and how he always hit the first pitch for a home run. Okay. I turned the dial and brought in WPIX thanks to one of those ancient cylindrical tv antennas that sat on the set. Now I kid all of you not. Yogi Berra was at the plate when I tuned in---and he DID hit the first pitch out of the yard! That was good enough for me!
