I’m a dad to two wonderful children, Elizabeth, and Jen, and one terrific dog, Casey. They all make my life better. My dad introduced me to baseball. It became our shared passion. And I’m sure there are hundreds of thousands of kids (and dads) who have had that same life experience. And there are hundreds of thousands of children who have shared the joy of baseball with their moms, and vice versa.
Baseball is unique among the major sports in that the game is a little more complex to initially understand. Basketball? Put the ball in the hoop. Hockey? Put the puck in the net. Football? Watch big humans go to war. Soccer? Hope something might happen. Each sport has rules and subtleties. And wonderful personalities and idiots. My preference is baseball; yours might be a different sport. (What do you know? I’m joking. Kinda.)
