Take Me Out to the Ballgame

When I was young I was obsessed with baseball and all its players. Baseball themed video games were just starting to be released, so we would make up baseball games with index finger sized bats and toothpaste caps, and grab our baseball cards and baseball encyclopedias in order to form our teams. Today's young people have more options than ever to fill their free time, so I was pleasantly surprised to see the video I have linked below, which shows an 8 year old boy who has memorized all current 750 major leaguers. Sure does remind me of the days of U.L. Washington and Daryl Sconiers.........
