Baseball At Any Age

I saw this story on the Associated Press and I had to share it.  the dateline is Westlake, Ohio near Cleveland.   A minor league baseball player will spend the summer with a large host family – the residents of an Ohio assisted living facility.  Lake Erie Crushers pitchers Josh Faiola will stay at the Belvedere.  It’s a complex for seniors citizens.  The Crushers have  host family program for players during the season.  The Belvedere owner says she heard about the program and thought it would benefit both a player and the residents.  Faiola was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in 2006, tore his labrum and was released in March.  He and his wife will stay in a suite at The idents, by the way, have tickets to opening day.

Told you it was a good story.  I’m smiling.  Are you?

That is all.
