Jesus Saves

From Here
.... but Mikata gets the rebound.

Stan Mikata passed away yesterday at the age of 78. As a kid growing up in the Chicago viewing area, I listened or watched Cubs and Sox games in the summer and Blackhawks games in the winter. He was a household name for many years. I'm not one to buy a lot of team clothing or memorabilia but the one piece I do have is a Mikata jersey. Another of my childhood heroes gone.

Rest in Peace Stan.

As soon as I heard he passed away, the phrase "Jesus saves....." popped in my head. Another phrase RJ Mengel put in my head over the years :)
