Glory days: Ballplayers chase big league dream at Saints open tryout

Pitcher Paul Risso, 63, of New Mexico
Paul Risso, 63, of New Mexico bears down during his bullpen session at the St. Paul Saints' annual open tryout at CHS Field. Risso was signed out of high school by the Pittsburgh Pirates, but blew his arm out when he was 20. Risso always dreamed of pitching in the pros, "so here I am, I'm giving it a go."
