I was shocked to learn of Jim's passing while attending the Hot Stove League banquet Saturday night. We had developed a very meaningful relationship over the past 10 years at the ball park. We traded cards and talked baseball. He was very gracious to me and would save me premiums if I was unable to get to a game. Most recently he was working on a baseball history of Clinton and I lent him a 3 I League stat book to help him. He was looking forward to the upcoming All Star Game and we talked a lot about his scorecard that he was designing. I plan to purchase a brick to be placed in front of the park in his memory. I will truly miss Jim.
