Mark Twain once said, Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
Sanders stopped by the Rice County Historical Society (RCHS) Museum today to donate 40 baseballs. These are not just any baseballs. They are memories of years gone by enjoying the game of baseball.
Sanders has enjoyed 40 years of being the baseball chairman for the Faribault American Legion Post 43 team. He would hire the coaches, oversee the budget.
Most of those 40 years the team signed a baseball and gave it to him in appreciation of his work.
