Congratulations to Col. Robert D. Cabana, who was inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame earlier this year.
Cabana, who became an astronaut in 1985, has logged more than 900 hours in space, and commanded the first International Space Station assembly mission. He's currently director of the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi.
Cabana, a Minneapolis native, will throw out the first pitch on Aug. 11 when the Minnesota Twins play the New York Yankees at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.
All of which definitely makes him one of the coolest guys ever to graduate from my high school.
