If John were a cartoon character, who would he be? Answer below.

College:  St Thomas, Business Finance. Minored in taking naps in the library.  Sold my notes, and old tests to Joe-Joe, so he could graduate, also. (another Tommie)

Current Profession:  Since 1991 I have been an Individual Investor.  Some days I think I'm really smart, other days, I'm reminded what a knucklehead I really am!! 

Baseball Background:  High School, College,  Minor Leagues, etc,.........er, OK, I did not pick it up till I turned 35.  I was always the biggest baseball fan, STAT "(rainman-like junkie.)  Used to walk my dog every night at Big willow park when I was 35, and the Saints were in last place, and looking for bodies, they invited me to play, and agreed to let me play with them the next year, (because I offered to by beer at Lone Spur)

Favorite Baseball Player:  Bo Jackson

Favorite Pro Athlete:  Walter Payton

Favorite Coach: Billy Martin, or any one who would let me on the team.

Greatest Saints Memories:  Watching Corny draw a line in the dirt at the Litchfield tournament.  Watching Pack's homerun leave Chaska field, watching Larry's homerun leave Dundas, watching about a 100 homeruns leave Radam's bat.  Watching Eicher steal 2nd base, Gaspipe stab a line shot or take a pitch to right.  Watching Lucky throw someone out at first - from right field!  Singing Donk-a-shein to Donkey, counting Staller's foul balls, listening to Joe-Joe do his Mark Fydrich imitation on the mound, watching Burnsy give Corny the evil eye when he comes to the mound to talk, watching Davey Craft having more fun than anyone on the field, watching Cookie find his love for the game again, and have a great year, looking at Andy's arm in a sleeveless shirt.

If John were a cartoon character he would be Brutus.
