I have loved baseball ever since I can remember. My first memory of baseball was watching Cal Ripken Jr. catch the game winning line drive to win the Orioles the 1983 World Series. I went to many games at the old Memorial Stadium and even more at Camden Yards. When the Houston Astros moved to the American League I took Thomas to Houston so we could watch the game together as father and son.

In all the games I have been to, two things have never happened. I have never caught a fly ball (they never come close to me) and I have never been on the scoreboard.

Of course one day at the park in Baltimore with the family Thomas was getting a little restless. Cassie took him over to the play area they have set up at Camden Yards. Who do I see on the scoreboard? Cassie and Thomas. It was Cassie’s second game and she gets on the big screen. And she never lets me live it down. 😁😁😁
