LOS ANGELES -- It was a Friday morning, and the sun was shining. To 88-year-old Benny Wasserman, that meant only one thing.
Time to grab his baseball bat, button up his Detroit Tigers uniform, and head to the Home Run Park batting cages in Anaheim.
There, Wasserman could give himself a break and step into the cage with the 40-mph pitches, or maybe the one with 60-mph heat. But this is no rookie we're talking about. Benny Baseball always goes up against the top gun, which launches 90-mph missiles. It's like facing Clayton Kershaw in the playoffs.
