Just got off a flight from St Louis to LaGuardia. About halfway through the flight, I noticed that the elderly man sitting directly across the aisle from me was wearing a very large diamond ring with the Yankees logo on it. I thought, "damn, that's a World Series ring." So, I snuck a glance at him. It was Joe Torre.

He managed the Braves in 1982 during my last season as an upper level usher at Atlanta-Fulton County. But he didn't seem to recognize me.

Or maybe he just wanted to respect my privacy.
