I have to add that my memories of baseball center around my brothers’ games. My younger brother played baseball for many LONG, boring seasons! Haha! For me, my memory of baseball is forever attached to headaches.

Such a poignant piece. I chuckled out loud; I tested up. The last two paragraphs …❤️

Wow Annette. I love this writing and I found the 2001 writing just as wonderful. It was a tie, without extra innings. I taught my grandsons left from right using the baseball diamond, just like you did!!!

Another favorite and teachable moment is when I taught them to choke up on the wooden spoon like it was baseball bat. They were amazed at the difference!!! Love you.

I love reading about your memories! “Wick the Stick” made me laugh out loud! These family traditions create such a strong bond. I’m sure Davis will always remember backyard baseball season!
