Sad to learn this morning that Jim Poole has Lou Gehrig’s disease.

For those of you not familiar with him, Jim had a very solid Major League Baseball career with Baltimore, Cleveland and several other teams. For Braves fans, you’ll remember he gave up the home run to David Justice in game 6 of the 1995 World Series.
