Makes me think of my Dad. He was a huge baseball fan. I didn't inherit any of that. Don't watch much sports of any kind anymore except for horse racing. I think our family was the last one in our neighborhood that got a TV and I have no doubt it happened when my Dad discovered he could watch baseball on the tube. He loved to watch a broadcast by Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese and he loved the White Sox. I think his favorite player was a guy named Nellie Fox. I'm pretty sure my Dad harbored notions of being a pro baseball player, but he ended up going to work in the oilfields of Northern Louisiana at the ripe old age of 14. Only had an 8th grade education, but he could run a drilling rig and did so for 50+ years.
