My husband will be so jealous of your evening. If you ever get to Dallas, make sure you come when we can all go to a Rangers game.
He is never happier than talking baseball,playing baseball, watching baseball.
Our bedroom bookshelves are a hodgepodge of lovely things he brings home from around the world, interspersed with a Byrd basketball, a Kareem basketball, several baseballs, including Johnny Bench, Ted WIlliams and three that I can't read who they are but they're in important-looking little glass cases, a bat signed by a bunch of guys, though the only name I know is Tug McGraw, and some autographed pictures of football players. There are some things that a good wife just accepts and this charming sports décor is one of these. Besides the basketballs are mine.
DId I tell you that he went to the Washington and Lee website when CW was applying to colleges and found himself still holding records on the sports pages. Wait-- this is so cute. Scroll down to the pitching records. He was SO proud!!

A couple of years ago he got to throw out the Opening pitch at a Red Sox/ Athletics game in Anaheim. The person sharing the honors with him was Joe DiMaggio. He was trying so hard to be cool (Dan, not Joe). All the kids remember is that we got to sit in a box and there was a lot of free food. |
