That is quite a story. Those old guys have so many valuable ones. My dad played semi pro baseball as

an eighth grader and was paid $18 per game on the weekends, during the Depression! He could have signed a pro baseball contract but his parents did not like the lifestyle of baseball players at that time, just like Lou Gehrig's. He was a catcher and built like Yogi Berra, but never got a chance. His football coach at the time said he was the best blocking back they ever had. Yeah that's right "blocking back".
