1985 Topps - Jim Gott (Back)
“Jim’s hobbies include Hapikido Karate. He also enjoys ballet and opera. Wife’s name is Clenice.”
If I hadn’t seen such a strange mix of hobbies and interests on the back of this card, I never would have done a Google search for Jim and found out a few things.
First, he helped teach Dennis Quaid how to pitch for the movie The Rookie.
Second, Jim and his wife Cathy (not Clenice…) spend a lot of time working with children with autism, including two of their own children.
Respect level way up, Jim Gott. We can all learn from 1985 Topps.
