[Case12]

So, here's a cool story that happened last week. My daughter works in a small town restraunt/bar 50 miles west of Chicago. Every day a gruff old man, - 85 yrs old (everybody calls him Ron), comes in for a beer. He's a quiet guy, gravel kind of voice she told me. She talks with him all the time and one day mentions her dads love for baseball. He said he met a famous baseball player when he was a kid....a guy named Babe Ruth. He didn't think anything special about it, but said he had a picture of him with the ballplayer. My daughter talked him into bringing the picture to the bar and took a snapshot on her phone - attached. Ron is the kid on the left with his fist in the air and hair down in his face!!! He remembered it was 1948 because the Babe died 2 months later. He was a kid working the turnstiles at old Comisky park then. I looked it all up and the dates all fit perfectly.
I asked my daughter if it was ok with Ron to share his photo. He doesn't even know what the internet is and never used a computer. But he said it was ok to show it to people.
I am amazed to catch such a cool story in an old bar in the country outside Chicago!! And the funny thing is Ron didn't think of the photo as a big deal...had to dig it up at home.
Well, you never know that the old geezer you serve at your bar once met the Babe.
Enjoy the picture everyone!!!! Casey
