One of THOSE fans

I have a friend, Jim, who works part-time at the YMCA. I knew he'd played pro baseball at some point in his life; but when we were talking this evening (that's what I do instead of working out), I discovered that he has a baseball card.

He's now 74 and played in the early 1950s for the Pittsburgh Pirates. At 18, he was the youngest player at the time to pitch for the Pirates. By the age of 20, he was done.

I am so excited. I never knew anyone who has a baseball card. How cool is that? That's just me: 52 going on 12.
