Bostic Hog Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I just watched a video on CNN.com and they reported that an 83 year old man actually played in a minor league baseball game. The PR guy for the club said that promotion is the name of the game in the minors and that this guy was a side-show type promotion. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/baseball/more/07/12/old.player.ap/index.html Just FYI, the 83 year old man actually made contact with a pitch. COOL !! I hope to be like him when I'm 83 !! HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
