"John graduated from Gary High School in 1944 where he found his love for marching band and polka music. After high school, John was drafted into the United States Army and served in the Philippines. It was during his service that he found his love & talent for baseball. He went on to play professional baseball from 1946 until 1957. As John said 'I had a good fastball and a good knuckleball, but I was wild and fast.'" - Star Beacon (11/28/2012, 'Obituaries: John Mike Kume,Sr.', Source)
