“Best moment? Yankee Stadium,” Schallock said. “That was one of the greatest thrills for me coming from wine country. And then I was involved in three World Series.”Those were fun times.“You want to suit up today?” Boone asked. “We’ll get you warmed up.” Yankees relievers Clay Holmes and Luke Weaver also stopped by to greet Schallock, who later was recognized to the crowd on the video board after the first inning and received a nice round of applause.
“He was a quiet guy,” Schallock said of Joltin’ Joe. “He didn’t say too much. He’d say, ‘Good morning.’ He made it look easy.”“It was a great thrill to watch him,” Schallock said. “He was sent to the minors and came back three months later and made a hell of a name for himself. He was a hell of a hitter.
