ROCKLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Ken Richardson celebrated his 104th birthday in Rockland on Wednesday.

The staff and residents at the Bartlett Woods Retirement Community joined in for Ken's party.

His daughters were there for the celebration as well.

Ken lived much of his life in Massachusetts, where he had a career as a civil engineer and used to play semi-pro basketball.

But his birthday present was all about baseball, among the gifts a Red Sox mug to represent the team he has followed all his life.

Ted Williams was his favorite player. Ken says he always got a seat in the left field bleachers so he could watch him play.
