I'm talking about BASEBALL!
I love baseball. From March to October my family breathes baseball. I and my brothers played Little League Baseball. My career didn't last through T-Ball. I literally stopped playing not even halfway through the season. I was more interested in being a spectator. Ryan did pretty well in Little League and Robin's got one more year. It will be exciting to see what he has to offer us this season.
We've had some exciting times at Baseball stadiums.... Like the time Mom thought I was lost or had been taken because I wandered off while she was talking to customer service. I was bored and tired of waiting for her and had decided to walk back to our seats where Dad and Ryan were. That was the last place she checked but there I was, watching the game, and wondering just why she was crying and livid at the same time. This was back in 1986 when the modern convenience of everyone having a cell phone did not exist. Fun stuff.
But I have to say that my feelings for baseball can be summed up in this quote from a movie you've probably seen. If you haven't, go get it and watch it.
"People will come, Ray... For reasons they can't even fathom.
They'll walk out to the bleachers and sit in their shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along the one of the base lines. It will be just like when they were children and cheered their heroes, and they'll watch the game, and it will be as if they were dipped in magic waters. The memories will be so thick, they'll have to brush them away from their faces...
This field, this game, it's our past. It reminds us of all that was once good, and could be again.
Oh, People will come. People will most definitely come."

And on that note, Peaches, I hope you all have a charming day!
