For those who know me, you
know how much I love the game of baseball.
Playing it as much as I
did, it taught me some of life’s most valuable lessons.
One aspect is the value and importance of tradition.

To that point, over many
decades the game hasn’t changed all that much.
With the exception of mindless hydroplane races, hitter coming to the plate with music so loud it gives you nose bleeds and idiots on their cell phones for 6 innings.
Oh yeah, and $8.00 beers.
Over the years with my buddy Jeff Meder, I have been to every ballpark in the country that I wanted to see. And at every stop, I bought and kept a game day program to commemorate the visit.

Add this to my ridiculous
collection of baseball cards (yeah, I’m really 7 years old), autographed
baseballs and other stuff, the tangible relationship I have with it all carries
great meaning for me.
So in an age of everything electronic, like those stupid hydroplane races, I invite you to read the article I’ve linked below.
But there’s a part of me that wishes it was in a hard copy of Sports Illustrated, not online.
