About Me: As a Baseball Player

As a youngster I was a better than average player and always ready to play hardball, stick ball, or softball. Like many other youths of the 50’s, I dreamed of someday being a professional baseball player like Duke Snider.

I was quite a good and versatile baseball player with the ability to play all infield positions, the outfield if required, and hit to an average better then most of my peers. However, the bad news (or good news depending upon how one looks at things) was that my baseball skill peaked at around 14 years of age. Others passed me by and my dream of being a baseball player came to an end. My interest and enjoyment of the game continued on through the years and has remained strong.
