Some people spend their lives in search of the perfect job.
Not Dale A. Petroskey, who says he got his at age 43 when he was named president and chief operating officer of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York. I am in awe of the Baseball Hall of Fame and all that it represents. He played too, until his sophomore year at Central Michigan University, and as a teenager won two Class E national championships in the National Amateur Baseball Federation. But Petroskey followed other career paths before coming back to his first love. He studied journalism at Michigan State University, then got involved in politics as assistant press secretary for the Michigan House Republican caucus, which included current governor John Engler.
