Hello
Andrew: I wanted to write a message
to you, and hopefully Goose Gossage, to thank you for
arranging his visit to the 2006 Babe Ruth World Series we hosted here in His speech to roughly 1,900
people at our Banquet of Champions was a tremendous success and he certainly
was the centerpiece of our event. His talk hit right home to young and
old alike as he related that much of what he learned in life he
learned through baseball. Hard work, good grades and teamwork were his
main theme to the young people in attendance and no matter what sport they
chose, it would provide much of the foundation for their future. Goose was extremely patient
during a long signature session and made a point to speak individually
with each player and fan of our World Series. He is definitely a player
who respects the game of baseball and is thankful for the all the opportunities
he experienced and continues to provide him. We found him to
be extremely flexible with our program and would love to have him
back with us again! In this era of professional
players making news for all the wrong reasons, Goose Gossage
is truly a great Yankee and even more so a truly great person. I heartily
recommend this man for any event to speak and greet the public. Thank You, Bill Butler Host President 2006 Clifton
