My grandchildren, Marie and Steve, both like to call me Paps, and I would really hope that one day, all of you could call me that. I will start out by listing my achievements, so you can get better acquainted with me so you can respect my judgment for future writings.
- I was born in 1954
- I was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa
- My favorite color as a child was blue
- I played catcher in baseball all through high school
- My first job out of high school was working textiles
- With money from my first job, I purchased baseball cards that included Sandy Koufax
Now that you know a little about me, now I'm going to give you a few thoughts about the Hall of Fame inductions, or lack there of.
