<p>&#8220;One game. One day. One dream.&#8221;</p>
<p>On 12/12/12, we think of the concert to raise money for victims of Hurricane Sandy.</p>
<p>Right now, let&#8217;s raise some hope.</p>
<p><strong>Dear Baseball World,</strong></p>
<p>Sometimes, we write letters to current or former players. We ask for an autograph or for a memory. A question answered.</p>
<p>Today, this letter is written for one of us, 86-year-old Bill Becker.</p>
<p>For years, he covered for his lack of remembering names by calling everyone &#8220;Brother Beans.&#8221; In turn, everyone decided Bill should have that name, too.</p>
<p>Well, our Brother Beans hasn&#8217;t asked for much. This eternal Yankees fan was widowed 11 years ago. He filled his void by remembering his other love. From matchsticks and Elmer&#8217;s glue, he constructed his own ballpark. The House That Ruth Build, meet The House That Beans Built.</p>
<p>Hurricane Sandy came calling for Brother. It got his house. But his masterpiece, and his spirit, remained, said granddaughter Kelly Herrington. </p>
<p>Brother Beans one wish is listed above. He wants his Yankee Stadium in the new Yankee Stadium. For one game, he wants to share with other fans.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s not asking for a zillion dollars. (Some artists won&#8217;t sell, for any price.) He doesn&#8217;t want his matchstick creation installed in Monument Park forevermore. Brother Beans is a Who down in Whoville. Despite death, despite Hurricane Sandy&#8217;s destruction, he&#8217;s shouting to the baseball world that he&#8217;s still here.</p>
<p>Baseball World, this&nbsp;letter his microphone. Hear him. Help him. December is the time of miracles. Let&#8217;s add Brother Beans to that list.</p>
<p>Start with a visit to his official <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/BrotherBeans?fref=ts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook page</a>. <a href="http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-884396" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a> has noticed, too. A <a href="http://www.artpromotivate.com/2012/11/yankee-stadium-hurricane-sandy.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">newsletter</a> was one of the first online allies. </p>
<p>Now, it&#8217;s our turn. Know any Yankee front office folk? Any minor league employees? Cooperstown? Spread the word. This dream can come true. We all belong to Brother&#8217;s band of brothers. Baseball unites.</p>
