Good Story. Thanks for sharing. I grew up with baseball, shared it with my dad, and rooted for the Reds as well. Johnny Bench and Joe Morgan were my heros. Grew up here in the valley, no no local team, but loved to see the Phoenix Giants (AAA). My wife watched the World Series with her Grampa growing up. Cant go now unless we are given tickets but love the Dbacks!!
of a movie I saw a few years back. "Field of Dreams". That's not a bad thing. Every word in that movie had Truth in it.
My Dad and I were always closest when sitting on the front porch listening to Harry Caray broadcasting the St. Louis Cardinals' games from a distant KMOX in St. Louis. (Lou Brock, Curt Flood, Roger Maris, Orlando Cepeda, Bob Gibson, et. al.)
I now have a two-year-old daughter, and I hope that, very soon, I can share the same magic of listening to D-Backs' games on KTAR. Or even better, TAKE HER to a game!
Nice article, Doug. I realy enjoyed it. That's why baseball is so special. We took our kids when they were little . Now I take my grandkids. How can you not love Baseball?
