I was born September 28th, 1961. That is the day before Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's single season homerun record. So, the Babe's homer record stood for one day in my lifetime.
I am left handed. I grew up wanting to be a baseball player. That dream fizzled. I did however run a succesful baseball card store and promoted shows with many famous celebrity guests.
