Zimmer recently had some back surgery. I guess carrying that extra weight around for so long finally caught up with him.

If Zim's back was the only thing affected because of all that weight, he's a lucky man.

Well he also had a mild stroke recently as well.

Great camera angle. You don't see shots like this. You can see right into the Yankees dugout, and there is Casey.

Yes, what a difference in dress between now and back then.

Was Zimmer playing short and Jackie second, in this game?

Yes, although this may be from infield practice.

That's a pretty large crowd for infield practice.

Yeh, but looks like the guy on the cart is getting ready to come out to drag the infield....though I guess it could be towards the end of the fifth.

I thought this was a nice color photo of Don from spring training.
