Mel Judsen

A long, long time ago...



One Thanksgiving; the family was sitting around talking old sports stories with friends. Dad started talking about Mel Judsen and about what a great athlete he was. He said, “I used to love watching Mel play football. He could hit people so hard. Boy, was he good.” And then he would say, “I remember when he played baseball, Boy was he fast." And then he said, "I remember going to the baseball park just to watch Mel play baseball. Boy, could he throw that ball.”


And then I said, “You know Dad, I was on Mel’s’ team.” And he said, “Oh, well, I used to like to watch you play too.”



It was funny.
