At home in Connecticut, Arthur Giddon begins every day working out.
"Keep your body from becoming stiff and old, and aged," he said.
That attitude may be one of the reasons Giddon celebrated his 100th birthday with a special wish, reports CBS News correspondent Randall Pinkston.
"I said it would be wonderful to be a batboy again," Giddon asked.
"Did you think it was going to happen," Pinkston asked.
"No," Giddon said.
But it did. Wearing his custom-make "Big Pappy" Boston Red Sox Jersey - a gift from his daughter - Giddon arrived for batting practice at Fenway Park Saturday. He handled more helmets than bats. A string of Red Sox players made a point to meet him, including the real "Big Papi," slugger David Ortiz.
