At 102, Floyd Severance—a WWII vet and baseball legend—threw the first pitch at a doubleheader, nailing it right in the strike zone. Out on the field with players decades younger, he still golfs twice a week and lives by “taking things as they come.” A patriarch to 55 descendants, he’s a TV favorite for his sharpness and zest for life. And guess what? After his pitch, Concord, down 0-4, won both games—2-1 in a nail-biter, then 13-8 in a slugfest—making his throw feel like more than just a ceremonial moment.
