What an afternoon!

We met the greatest couple at the Peninsula Grill this afternoon.  Jack and Jackie Frisinger from Kalamazoo. They have been married 63 years.

Jack Frisinger played for the St. Loius Cardinals farm clubs 1947-1951. He started in Albany Georgia.  He played for several clubs. She even had a picture of him in his uniform! (Click his name above to see his stats!)

Bats:  Right 
Throws: Left 
Height: 6' 0 
Weight: 160 lb.
Born: 1928  (Age 84)

Then he was drafted in 1951 and was stationed in Korea and Libya. He was a decoder in the Air Force.  When he came back he never played baseball again.

They were a delightful couple. We enjoyed our visit with them. They are watching tonights game with the hopes that Detroit will play St. Louis in the World Series.
