oldest living pirate
Thanks Leon,
John thankyou also. Boy you can tell he was a catcher when you shake his hand he has digits going every other way! John like we talked if you can break away get me a time and I will try and set something up. Would be nice to do something because I believe he is now the oldest pirate player left. Mike did say that he never thinks about age when I told him that statment about being the oldest pirate player he said how could that be Im only 69! Mike was so happy that I didnt ask him questions about statistics. He said he never gave much thought to them .Just wanted to play baseball where ever he could. Said he was working at electrolux the vacuum cleaner maker making 200 a month. When he first signed he was making 75 a month. Said he didnt care just wanted to play! We also talked about todays ballplayers and what they make ! I wont go into what he said!
