Happy Birthday to fellow blogger John Wroblewski aka Johngy of Johngy's Beat.
I don't know his age but I think he's pretty old. :) Here he is with Cubs catcher Koyie Hill.
I am not a hockey HOFer, nor a baseball legend (but I did interview Uecker), but still I share my day with them!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog!
This is hilarious. Wait until Johngy sees it.
ReplyDeleteThe Great One, The Uke and Johngy! Too funny.
ReplyDeleteHere's a clue about his age. He turned 21 the day the Bears won their only Super Bowl.
Hahahaha. Wow. I am honored to be in such great company on such a great blog!
