I saw his Great Grandfather Karl tight rope between games of a twilight double header at the Old Cleveland Municipal Stadium in 1975 when I was a little kid. It was a real spectacle, I was nervous as all Hell. He stood on his head directly in the middle of the wire and also through a baseball while traversing the field.

It was a real trip and I am real happy that he didn't fall. He died a few years later in Puerto Rico in a fall.

I remember that fatal fall as a child and was hoping this guy wouldn’t do the same. Glad he made it.

I saw him at a Braves game in the old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. Same kind of show.
