I always knew that he liked sports. As a child, I can remember him listening to baseball or football games on the radio. his concentration was intense despite the fact that he never got real emotional in regards to what was happening. Kind of a laid back sports fan.

Well, after looking into his background, I found out that he had played sports himself while attending high school. In picture #1 we see that he was according to the Metamora Meteor (the high school yearbook) "Johnny (in the center) and the HS football team - 1927".
