    I take it you weren't an athlete growing up? Have you ever heard of Mickey Mantle, Babe Rith, Hank Aaron etc.?

    I hear this at every one of my high school reunions.
    One of my nurses was telling me that the older I get the uglier I get. I laughed very hard because I knew it was true.

    Who is this Babe Rith you speak of?
    When I was a kid in the mid 50s (makes you look like a young punk kid) I had the bubble gum baseball trading card of all the great players including Mantle, Snyder, Mays, Berra, Maury Wills, Pee Wee Reese, Don Drysdale, Whitey Ford, etc.
    I loved my bubble gum and I loved my baseball trading cards. Once I even got a bubble gum card of the 1957 Green Bay Packers team. My mother threw them all away whenever we moved.
