a neat story

Great stories, guys. My Dad is 88 now and really starting to slow down. He had an interesting life also. He went to the Kelloggs Baseball School and Tris Speaker told him "You can play!" After graduating from Schurz High School in Chicago, he played ball at Wright Junior College. The Cubs asked him and a number of local standouts to come down and workout with the Cubs in 1939. Gabby Hartnett was teaching him how to catch and he got to wear Stan Hack's hand-me-down jersey. He then attended the University of Illinois where his coach was former Yankee Walter Roettger. |
