Baseball

I have been a fan of baseball all of my life. I played it my entire childhood, either just pick up games in the park or organized baseball. My Grandma Dowdle loved baseball and it was one thing we connected on. She loved the Cincinnati Reds so I became a Reds fan. She talked to the players like they were her sons. She would call them Petey (Pete Rose), little Joe (Joe Morgan), and Johnny (Johnny Bench).

This has been a good baseball year for me. My TCU Horned Frogs went to the college World Series and now my Texas Rangers are going to the World Series. I have suffered a long time with my Rangers and I am enjoying every minute.

But, also the boys have been playing baseball and we have spent a lot of time playing catch and taking baseball practice in the backyard. I love this time we have together and I love watching them improve. I just hope they have fond memories of these times.
