I assume he spent time talking about playing for the great Yankees teams from the 1930s (he had a record of 6 wins and no losses in seven World Series starts with four complete games). Maybe he also shared some stores about his time as a vaudevillian. $3000 a week in 1932 was a pretty good wage. Thank you for your post.
