[He has had only one close call, when he got his thumb stuck in the spokes of his mom's wheelchair and it caused an under-the-nail blood blister.

That was the best we've seen Hunter Jones throw the ball this year. That's the way he threw the ball last year. We were just hoping he'd get it back on track, and I think he did tonight.

When we first came to Pascagoula, we saw him quite a lot. He came in here a lot and we always thought he was quite a gentleman and very nice, very pleasant. My son rented furniture from him and he was very nice to him. We always felt he was a kind person and very good to do business with.
