It's October 1956.
The Martian (Jasson Dominguez, the 20 year old phenomenal switch hitting NY Yankee center fielder from the Dominican Republic, who hit a home run the very first time he swung the bat during his 1st at bat in the Major Leagues, hit 4 home runs during his 1st 6 games in the Major Leagues, hit a homer last night, and runs like a deer) will not be a gleam in his father's eye for another 47 years.
He is called The Martian because he plays baseball so well that people say he plays out of this World. Some say he is the next Mickey Mantle.
The original Mickey Mantle born in Oklahoma, who was a phenomenol switch hitting NY Yankee center fielder, hit tape neasure home runs (the phrase tape measure home run was invented because on numerous occasions Mickey hit homers completely out of Major League stadiums), and ran like a deer, is playing in the 1956 World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers after batting .353, hitting 52 homers, driving in 131 runs and winning the Triple Crown in 1956.
Now, for the trains: the locomotive in the video below is an MTH PS3 B6 steam switcher that I love, and the passenger cars are K Line with figures for passengers inside that I love:
The original Mickey Mantle was my childhood hero, I am now very excited about The Martian, and I obviously love baseball and O Gauge trains, among other things.
I hope I have entertained you this morning. Arnold
