Two inspiring men came into my life as God had plan. They left an impression on me that I honor them on October 10th.

Mr. Brice Hall used to umpire some of my high school baseball games and after my injury, when I became a coach, Mr. Hall was still on the diamond. Fun Fact: he was born on 10 / 10 / 10 – October 10th, 1910. He was a great inspiration for the young ball players because of his age in his late 80s. He kept doing what he loved – not at home dying but living on a baseball field.

Mr. Fred Webber and I met in the hospital. Mr. Webber with a kidney stone and I with a spinal cory injury. When he was discharged from the hospital, he wrote a powerful motivational letter which dates back to October 10th, 1983. I read his letter every year.

Thanks for listening in advance and have a bless day.
