Teacher/DJ/Military Intelligence-USAR. Sixty-seven years old. Played, coached, umpired studied and watched countless hours of the best sport ever.

Astros fan since 1980 and Managing Editor of TCB since 2018. The picture is of my childhood hero, "the Jolly Green Giant," "Hondo." The original Aaron Judge. Frank Howard.
