NFT: Did anyone know that Squiggy is a scout for the Mariners?

steve in ky : 3/30/2015 10:16 am

I certainly had no idea. I read that he was and checked it out and sure enough it is in fact true.

Quote:

Ever the baseball fan, David holds the position of Associate Scout for the Seattle Mariners. In the past, David has scouted for the Anaheim Angels, and in the 1980s, was a part-owner of the minor league club the Portland Beavers.

Seriously though, good for him. He is likely an inspiration to other multiple sclerosis sufferers.

Quote:

Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 1984, David currently maintains a very active schedule as a spokesperson and advocate for MS and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS). David's autobiographical memoir Fall Down Laughing: How Squiggy Caught Multiple Sclerosis and Didn't Tell Nobody has appeared on the Los Angeles Times best seller list. In 2000, the NMSS honored David with an award for Ambassador of the Year.

I'm pretty sure I've heard his distinctive voice on a couple of kids cartoons.

He was definitely a voice on Oswald. I forget which character, it's been a while but I think it was the penguin. What a weird show that was... lol

Very much so. A lot of people have never seen it, but it's hilarious.
