the return of the mook. last weekend, we stumbled across the economy candy store on rivington street. odds and ends, surplus candies, what have yous, but also “collectibles” such as baseball cards. at one point or another, all of my brothers and i collected and traded baseball cards (in our youth as part of our americanization program). at the economy candy store, i bought several packs, giving all but one of them to my nephew to deliver to my younger brother to share with his younger kids, and kept one pack for myself: mookie, lou and donny. i think lou is the only one with a chance for the hall of fame, but mookie was always one of my favorites. with a name like mookie, you can’t go wrong.
