Came across this article...couldn't resist the fact that there are people who literally are "living history." Interesting to think there are still those amongst us who witnesses things that we think of being lost to the past.

I found this article really interesting. It's amazing that this dude is able to say that he has been watching baseball for 92 years and even more cool that he has been to two different playoff games just less than 100 years apart. Sometimes when I have conversations with my grandparents or when I talk to other older people I know, they always love to tell me stories about the past. They, more than everyone else in the world, know how America has changed over the past century. Sometimes I think about how lucky I am that I am born when I was, with all the technology and advancement in the way of life. I try to think of how the world will be different when im 60 years older and what I will think of when I look back on my childhood. Someday I will be like my grandparents and will have a whole story of 60 years to tell to people who only know what's happened in the last 10 .
