Dear HowNiKan, We enjoyed the article about the oldest living Citizen Potawatomi and baseball, and thought you may be interested in the latest generations and baseball. Keep up the good work. If I listen hard enough, I can hear the essence of baseball. We play together on the weekends, from 10 to 12 in the morning, with other fathers and sons at Fireman's Field behind Zachary's grade school.
Baseball generously allows parent and child to share with each other.
Something within me is completed when he catches a ground ball, just as we had practiced together in the back yard, and throws it to first base. Baseball allows him to try on my experience, to test what works and what doesn't. It was up to baseball to demonstrate one of life's greatest lessons. With total determination, I hit the ball the best I could and got on base. Zachary was up next.
