Salvatore M., 80, Durham, CT

Salvatore “Joe” Magano, a resident of Durham, Connecticut, recently had his wish to visit Yankees stadium and tour the clubhouse granted, thanks to our Connecticut chapter. Magano, 80, has COPD and needs a wheelchair or walker to get around. In years past, he and his wife took the train from Connecticut but that is no longer possible. The New York Yankees rolled out the blue carpet for Magano and his family! Not only did they get to tour the clubhouse and field, but he got to try on World Series rings and hold Babe Ruth’s baseball bat! It was a day they will never forget! Magano is truly deserving of this wish as he worked as a counselor for many years with the homeless and addicted. Thank you New York Yankees for making this amazing wish possible!
