Jack: "Who is #3 on the Angels?"
DH: "Not sure we have a #3."
Me: "I don't think #3 is assigned to anyone this year. Hey Jack, do you know the name of the most famous player to ever wear #3?"
DH: "Yeah, #3 is a pretty special number because of the player who wore it once!"
Jack: "What team?"
Me: "Yankees."
Jack: "Was it from olden days? Did he hit lots of home runs?"
DH: "Yep. Lots of Home Runs!"
Jack: "That's easy... Babe Ruth! Give me another one!"
Me: "OK, who wore #42 for the Dodgers?"
Jack: "Too easy... Jackie Robinson. Got another?"
Me to DH: "Are you wiping away tears of joy from your eyes?"
DH: "No, tears of pride!"
I fell in love with J.T. Snow when I started going to Angels games in 1993... that love ended when he hit a home run against the Angels in the 2002 World Series. I love baseball, and I have lots to say about it; from Little Leagues to the Big Leagues and all the leagues in between.

You are raising that boy right!!!
Nothing warms my heart more than:
1. Baptisms
2. Young baseball fans
Most of the time in that order.
LOL... the kid already knows far more about baseball than I'll ever know. :)
*(and I'm ok with that!) LOL.
