I bought the traditional collectors ball for opening day. It's something small, but a tradition I hope we get to keep in the family. I went to a baseball game today and my memories of the game are not what stand out. This is why basketball, football, and hockey will never be able to compete with baseball as the national pastime. Those sports are about the game and the game's special moments.
Baseball is about families and the special moments that they share around the game.
I went to a baseball game today and was reminded that it is as much about mom, dad, son, daughter, grandma, and grandpa as it is about bats, balls, bases, hits, and outs. The Astros won 11-3.
