Why your support matters
Hello. I wonder if I can reach out and hope to contact some of my sorely missed Old baby boomers Greenpointers. I grew up there before McGuiness Blvd went to Sts Cyril and Methodist as well as St Stanislaus Kostka. Played Little League with Socony Mobil and Babe Ruth and Sr League with Naphta Rug Co managed by erstwhile Canarsie Line Motorman Charlie Kerchoff. Played on the glorious Greenpoint Crusaders and was the 1967 Most Valuable O Lineman on that Intermediate team. And hung out and chased beautiful hip girls and brought some pretty groovy groups to some St Anthony’s Saturday Night Soirées.
I love reading the Greenpointers but I really don’t recognize anything or anyone. I mean talk about group immunity we played ball n the toxic waste dumps right under the actual refineries and slept in the middle of brass foundries and creosote plants. But o man the pizzerias and hot dog stands forgetaboutit. Fish and chips every Friday.
