I know Dennis well and ony wish I would had known him when he was a player. His wife Kim is a great athlete and sports record holder in her own right. They are a credit to the sporting world.

Growing up in NY & covering my walls w/pix of all yankee players, he was one of my favorites. Yes I watched him come up from Columbus & play quite a bit w/the Yankees. I actually had his pic right over my bed along w/ Bucky Dent & Ron Guidry as he was not bad on the eyes either to a teenage diehard baseball fan. To this day I have a mind blowing baseball card collection from my childhood & wonder if after I'm gone, my children would ever appreciate. Thx again for sharing!

Not everyday you see your name on T.V. especially in the world of sports. To this day I receive an email or two wondering if I am him...BTW, our older son is also named Jason and we all saw him play, for the first time, while we were spending time in Knoxville in 2001.

Dennis and I were good friends when we grew up in Mt. Pulaski, Illinois. When I was attending graduate school at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis I had the good luck to see Dennis play when he was first called up after September 1, 1979. The next summer he was with the Yanks and after one game I had the pleasure of bar hopping with Dennis and Reggie! THen the next year, the same with Dennis and George (KC Royals). I still see Dennis occasionally when I visit home. BY the way, I am a psychologist and my research is on memory of key life experiences- like the one you recalled here. Interesting coincidence.
