Candia Congregational Church
When we first moved to New Hampshire back in the ’70s, we lived in Atkinson and we be friended another young couple that lived down the road and around the corner.
They had two boys the same ages as our son and daughter. So they played together, and thus my daughter is not a “girly-girl” thanks to her young playmates. Anyway, this isn’t about my daughter it is about “hands.”
One of the her playmates, Mike Ank, (now 32) was sitting at a bar in Medford, MA having a drink when, another, and much older, patron says to him,
“You have hands like Hank Camelli.”
Mike responded by saying simply, “Oh, I do?”
His new friend says “Ya, you do. He use to play baseball for the Pirates and I followed him. Did you ever hear of him?”
Mike Ank…responded proudly I’m sure,
“Ya, he was my grandfather!”
Hank Camelli was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts andwas 28 years old when he broke into the big leagues on October 3, 1943, with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Oh, by the way he was a great father and grand father.
