Jim “Catfish” Hunter

This Week’s Theme: Alphabet H through N

Today’s letter is J. I actually took this picture a few days ago just for this theme. The letters are falling apart, but “JCH” stands for Jim “Catfish” Hunter. Our town has quite a few things around to remember him by, like this baseball which is on the building next to the football field at the school, his grave in the cemetery behind the school with a big tomb stone, and a sign on the highway here in Hertford, NC. He was born here, and played for a couple major league baseball teams, including the Yankees… If you want to know more about him, you can click HERE to see his wikipedia page.
