He grew up in France but was born in another European country I can't remember. Mom was from Netherlands or Denmark maybe???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went to Officer Training School after he'd earned his college degree. Flew F-4 "Wild Weasels" during the Gulf War. Retired as a full bird colonel (very rare for prior enlisted to do). Now a Captain for United flying out of Newark. When he has simulator training here in Houston we always get together. I always tell him he's the second most famous guy from St Croix 😁 Thats awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless, I really have no idea how they determined his nationality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) This was the Scoreboard Stumper on the JumboTron at Great American Ballpark last night, Who are the 4 active players to have played at least 15 seasons, with all of them being with the same franchise? Hint: One of them played in that game last night. Edited July 25, 2021 by 5fouls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went team by team in our guesses last night at the game and had settled on it possibly being Brett Gardner, but that just didn't feel right to me. So, I refused to accept it. Then my son said ;It could have been Ryan Zimmerman if he had not retied. And, I said, "What? Zimmerman isn't retired." I just saw him on TV in a game a couple of weeks ago." I hadn't thought of him the first time through the team by team . Edited July 25, 2021 by 5fouls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
