You are never too young to dream.  And you are never too old to remember.  At 84 years young, Ken Benjamin has lived a full life.  At 15, Ken had to convince his high school baseball coach that he was worthy of pitching for the the team.  At 19, Ken was the only one from his high school to be scouted and signed (as a pitcher) by The New York Yankees.  Injury would later take him off the field.  That was 1955.  By the mid 70s, Ken was running a million dollar business dealing art in Los Angeles.  Today, Ken is 84 years young and still runs his own business, paints on weekends, and visits the gym every other day.  He loves to dance and has the spirit of a twenty year old.  His stories are strong and his insight is great!
