"It was in '89 that I met Dora. I was in the Kansas City
ball team, and was a likely lad. I weighed 200 pounds,

is Dick Vaughn, and a very good 'pal' of mine. I met her
there at his house.

the best seat every day at the games when we played on home
grounds.
"And she never was slow, I tell you, of giving me credit
when I made a double play or lined out a hot one.
