Has anyone been or sent a child or grandchild to the Mickey Owen Baseball School in Miller, Missouri (close to Springfield, Missouri)? One of our grandsons is really into baseball and looking at sending him for a week or two.

I don't have any personal knowledge but have heard good things about it.

I gave up my aspiration to play left field for the Yankees a while back.

Mickey died last summer. Although he had a great career, he was remembered for one error:

During that 1941 World Series, however, he would make a costly error. The Dodgers held a 4-3 lead in the ninth inning of Game 4 of the series. Owen dropped a third strike on Tommy Henrich that would have been the final out of the game. The Yankees rallied to score four runs and to win the game 7-4. The victory gave the Yankees a 3-1 lead the series and, the next day, New York won the championship.
