Baseball memories
...I never cried as a baby, but made up for it during Little League. I cried after strikeouts, after errors, after losses... It felt reflexive. Swing, miss and cry...

...Being able to take my Dad back to Fenway, to hear his stories one more time... I hold that trip close to my heart, even though the damn Yankees won...

The next pitch--the first my daughter ever saw in her life--disappeared into the haze for a 2-run HR.
