Sam Sherman decided it was time for him to get active so he joined a baseball team, with teammates who were a fair bit younger than him. But Sam wasn’t concerned – he had been a great ball player back in the day…according to him.

During one game, Sam was playing third base when a batter ripped a shot over his head. Sam leapt as high as he could, but the ball tipped off the end of his glove and fell safely for a hit.

At the end of the inning, Sam was heading for the dugout when the left fielder caught up with him. "That much!" he called, holding his thumb and forefinger a couple of inches apart.

"I know," Sam replied. "I almost had it."

"No," he said. "I mean that’s how far you got off the ground."
