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.

Quotes

The Caregivers; Beth, Lillian, Robert...all gave so much of their souls to my husband. It's a first experience and as a spouse I am forever grateful to the teams who cared for Chris and showed so much love to him. Activity Coordinator, Maren, is fabulous....creative and attentive. Had great ideas and always included everyone. Chris is so much younger than the others so I greatly appreciated the attention to detail and kind care she provided.

— Wife of Resident
