“Did you see number 62? Did you see him? He’s the epitome of no excuses,” Heather Trompke says her 16-year-old son asked. “He told me, ‘I want to go shake his hand then he went over to him and he just told Devon, ‘You inspire me. I wanted to come meet you and shake your hand’.”
Devon Berry, a senior at Hampton High School, is a stellar athlete, playing football, basketball and wrestling, He is a great student, and has a relationship with his faith that inspires others. He has cerebral palsy, but that doesn’t hold him back. He’s the real deal.
This is Devon’s story. He just wants his message to be shared that with the help of positive thinking and action, anything is possible.”
“It’s an honor, man,” Berry said. “People with my disability—it’s me being a testimony for God and being a leader for people who don’t have the chance to do what I’m doing. I’m doing something that you don’t usually see.”
“There isn’t anything I don’t think I can do,” Devon says. “ I brings that attitude out here every day.”

Are you ready for some football?
Football announcers often mention a player – usually a running back – moving the ball north-south (toward the end zones) or east-west (toward the sidelines). But this is done in the field’s frame of reference, not based on any sort of geographic orientation.
As it turns out, of the 31 NFL stadiums in use, only four (Packers, Broncos, Seahawks, and Buccaneers) are perfectly aligned along a north-south axis (e.g., the sideline or an imaginary line connecting the goalposts would point north-south). Two more are within 5° of north-south (Texans and Bears), and an additional three are within 15° (Rams, Giants/Jets, and Eagles). Two are perfectly oriented along an east-west axis (Falcons and Vikings).
Of course, there is no rule in football regarding the orientation of the field. Players might say they prefer north-south because of where the sun might be at game time, or what the direction of the prevailing winds is. But most stadiums are often built to fit the available space, which can predetermine the orientation of the field, and for domes, none of the outdoor factors is relevant.
To generate this graph, all azimuths were measured as degrees clockwise from north using Google Earth. For covered stadiums, where the field is not visible from an aerial view, I used seating charts as a supplement. Azimuths were grouped using 10° bins (e.g., 85° to 95°) and then plotted in both directions (e.g., 30° was also plotted as 210°, as fields don’t point in just one direction) so that the graph would have 180° rotational symmetry.

I pulled data on the youngest and oldest professional athletes in four major sports leagues for each year: MLB (baseball), NHL (hockey), NFL (football), and NBA (basketball). Baseball’s history extends much further back, but for the purpose of the graph, I’ve truncated it to make the other three time series clearer.
As noted on the graph, some of the data includes/excludes other leagues. NHL does not include WHA. NFL includes APFA. NBA includes BAA. Also, the ages are calculated on a specific date during the season, which is different for each sport. For example, the basketball ages are calculated on February 1st, while baseball ages are calculated on June 30th. As a consequence, some player ages were one less at the beginning of a season, or one greater at the end of a season than the data shown on the graph.
I’ve place a few fun facts on the graph. Overall, the minima have far less variance than the maxima. Youngest players tend to be between 18 and 21, while maxima range from late 30s to late 40s, and in some cases extend far into the 50s.
