Memories live on through Jim's baseball autograph collection, at Emerald Crest Memory Care in Burnsville MN

Baseball theme, Jim's autograph collection, Memory Care Burnsville

As a fourteen-year-old in 1949, Emerald Crest Memory Care resident Jim was a serious baseball fan. He pined for autographs from baseball heroes such as Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth.

Jim finally decided there was only one way to get them—by writing to the players themselves.

His heroes wrote back, and you can read Jim's story here.

The professional people that I have frequent contact with are also excellent. They of course are responsible for running the whole show and they keep me well informed of what’s going on…in a few words, I could not be more pleased.

— Robert, husband of resident
