Looks like a lovely man. It also looks awesome to be outside at a game in your T-shirt...Doesn't happen much here.

Think of all the players he got to see. I thought I was blessed to see Stan the Man play, Dizzy Dean pitch (old timer's game), Bob Gibson, etc. He's had to have seen it all.
Back in the Sixties, btw, every game I saw with the Pirates in town, we lost. Not sure of the overall stats, but I never wanted to see the Pirates here after that decade

He got to see Babe Ruth's last three home runs. That's amazing.
