JULY - SEPTEMBER 2018 I S S U E P A G E 6 A New York Story By Frank Petrignani When Anthony Gasparino was born in the Clinton Hills section of Brooklyn, New York on December 4, 1915, things were a little different than they are today. According to usinflationcalculator.com, what would cost $50 in 1915, would cost $1,240.33 today. “In those days we still had cobblestone streets and horses still pulled some of the fire engines,” Mr. Gaspa- rino said. “There were always horse and buggies in the streets.” When he was eighteen years old, Mr. Gaspa- rino’s first job was working in a printing shop. He was paid $17 for working six days a week. “Those were happy times,” he said. Mr. Gasparino reflected back to the days before television, when everyone in the neighborhood would sit on their front stoop and listen to the radio. “We would stay outside until ten o’clock at night and everyone in the neighborhood knew each other,” he said. In 1941, Mr. Gasparino married his wife, Delores, and they lived together for seventy years. Soon after marrying Delores, he entered the police academy, and his first day on the job was June 13, 1943. Mr. Gasparino worked out of the 88th Precinct in Brooklyn for more than twenty-one years. He and his wife had four children; three boys and one girl. Two of his sons became police officers, with one son becoming a captain and another son a sergeant. As a Yankee fan living in Brooklyn, Mr. Gasparino said some of his favorite players were Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio. He was even at Yankee Stadium on October 8, 1956 when Don Larsen threw the only perfect game in World Series history against the rivaled Brooklyn Dodgers. A lot has changed since Mr. Gasparino watched that perfect game at Yankee Stadium almost sixty-two years ago. However, he still tunes-in to every game. “I listen to the Yankees every night,” he said. “I don’t see so well, so I listen through the television.” After living in Brooklyn and Queens, Mr. Gasparino moved to Brookhaven Town fifteen years ago pur- chasing a home in Port Jefferson Station, where he still lives today. He said the adjustment from city life has not been difficult. “I like it out here, it’s nice,” he said. At one-hundred and two years old, Mr. Gasparino said the secret to his health is simple. “Coney Island hot dogs and French fries. I was never big on the greens, so I never ate too much of them.” On June 26th Supervisor Edward P. Romaine honored Anthony Gasparino at the New Village Recreation Center in Centereach. Mr. Gasparino was born in Brooklyn, NY in December of 1915 during President Woodrow Wilson’s first term. If you have an interesting personal story you would like to share for consideration in an upcoming issue of the Happy Talk Gazette, please contact Frank Petrignani at 631-451-6547.

  • Marshall Fogel Has Amassed a Sports Collection Unrivaled in Condition and Value
    IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN MARSHALL FOGEL HAS AMASSED A SPORTS COLLECTION UNRIVALED IN CONDITION AND VALUE Interview by Hector Cantu Photographs by Wes Magyar FOR MARSHALL FOGEL, EVERY SPORTS ARTIFACT HAS A STORY. When he talks about Roy Campanella, he pulls out the catcher’s mitt that once belonged to the leg- endary player. It was a gift to a kid at Ebbets Field before the car accident that left the three-time MVP paralyzed. There’s an original photo of Lou Gehrig taken in 1939 when it was announced that the “Iron Horse” would not be playing anymore. “Just looking at Lou’s face tells the story,” Fogel says. “There’s so much emotion evoked by that photo.” Fogel also has bats used by Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle when they were battling for the home run record in 1961. There’s a check, circa 1841, from Alexander Cartwright, credited with inventing the modern game of baseball. There’s a mirror from Joe DiMaggio’s home, and Ty Cobb’s passport. Simply put, his baseball card and memorabilia collection – considered the best private baseball col- lection in existence – spans a comprehensive history of the national pastime and its impact on American culture. 42 HERITAGE MAGAZINe — WINTER 2009-10 Although he began in 1989, Marshall Fogel today is considered one of the hobby’s top collectors. HERITAGE MAGAZINe — WINTER 2009-10 43 Fogel owns more than 200 game-used bats from legends such as Honus Wagner, Joe DiMaggio, Ty Cobb, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. “It’s the most complete game-used Hall of Fame collection,” Fogel says.
