As a pollock that grew up on Tip Hill i knew a lot of kids in the Parochial League. A lad went to Cathedral and he kept on boasting to all of us that he had Roger Maris's bat and Mickey Mantle's uniform. I never believed him but others who went to St. Pats said that he showed them to them. Apparently his father had press credentials.  Anyway I am watching the Cleveland Browns win a championship game on TV (only three channels back then) and a celebration going on. All of a sudden I see the kid in the background with all the players.  Next day I read in the paper that the Brown's QB (Ryan?) was upset that someone took the gameball! A few days later a Syracuse cop who apparently new the kid returned the ball back to the Browns.

Roll the clock forward many years and I saw an article in the Syracuse paper about a local man who did some daring picture taking of celebrities.  Apparently when Gorbachov(sp?) was visiting the US he crashed security to take his picture.  He was lucky he wasn't shot. Yup, it was the kid from Cathedral.
