Most of us who love and played the game had those dreams when we were young. We were all going to play for our favorite team and hit a homer in the 9th inning of the seventh game of the World Series. Marry the most gorgeous girl in high school and be the envy of all of our friends. That kid in the photo had those dreams. I also wanted the Edsel that is in the photo behind me.
Never came close. Played a little high school ball, one year of little league and a ton of softball in the Army.
