Tom Papa

I was at that game last year before when it was the Yankees against the Dodgers, and Freddie hit that grand slam home run off Nestor Cortez, and I was there as a Yankee fan.

But the joy from that state when he hit that, the explosion of joy in that stadium...

Even though it was against everything that I was rooting for, you couldn't help it.

It was just so fantastic.

I've been at games like that.

I'm the same.

When people are just—rattle off, like, the play, 98, that—I forget it.

I don't know.

You've written how many books?

Twenty— Something.

Twenty-something books.

And I saw a comment, as I was complimenting your writing, that you—

You were starting, it was an interview about the nonprofit, and you were saying that you wanted to take a step back from writing for a while.

Tell me about that, because you've been writing for a very long time.

What about it are you proud of?

Globally or –

Nationally.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's really, uh, my sister runs a nonprofit in New Jersey called City Green and they have local farms in Clifton, New Jersey.
