Season covering UNC baseball rekindles childhood memories

Posted Jun 14, 2022
Thanks to George Steinbrenner's daughter, Jenny, being a UNC student, the New York Yankees played exhibition games against UNC at Boshamer in 1977, 1979 and 1981. Reggie Jackson hit one majestic home run that landed more than halfway between the left-field fence and Ehringhaus Dorm. For that 1977 game, I was behind the Yankees dugout. (Tar Heel Tribune)
