I was at both Yankees games when he received the nickname "ROOFTOP" I was 11 at the time and whore #30 in every sport I played from that day forward... My first son was born in 1986 and you guessed it He was named Jason after my childhood favorite....I live in Sterling Heights and will 1 day visit his Baseball camp just to say hello and shake his hand and thank him for those childhood memories....

It was my 16th birthday and I was in love with Jason Thompson. Needless to say, I didn't celebrate my birthday that day. I often wonder what he is doing today.

I really enjoyed reading this. I thought I was the only one who still thought about Jason although anytime I get into a nostalgic conversation and I bring him up, EVERYBODY remembers him. I was an 11-12 year old girl at that time, one of the only 3 girls on my church's entire boy's hardball league. At the time Tatum O'Neill and Kristie McNichol (The Bad News Bears) were the rage. I would love to see him sometime just to tell him how much he meant to me and how much of a crush I had on him. My father (a truly good man and Tiger follower) laughed at me when I told him that I wrote a fan letter to Jason and invited him over for dinner. You would think after all these years I would have gotton over him. Thanks for bringing back these cherished memories. Hi! I really enjoyed reading this.
