Vintage ballplayer relatives
Posted By: Mike
My uncle was a fantastic catcher in high school. In the mid forties, he received a letter from the Cleveland Indians asking him to come and try out. But since the pay for ball players was so low back then, he decided to get an electrical engineering degree. He spent 35 years working for Burlington Northern. He figured that in the long run, he'd make more with electrical circuits. He's a wonderful man, and had a wonderful wife and family. I guess he made the right decision. I wish he would have kept the invite letter. He tossed it.
