Well, you know I… I never got to bat in the major leagues. I would have liked to have had that chance. Just once. To stare down a big league pitcher. To stare him down, and just as he goes into his windup, wink. Make him think you know something he doesn’t. That’s what I wish for. Chance to squint at a sky so blue that it hurts your eyes just to look at it. To feel the tingling in your arm as you connect with the ball. To run the bases – stretch a double into a triple, and flop face-first into third, wrap your arms around the bag. That’s my wish, Ray Kinsella. That’s my wish. And is there enough magic out there in the moonlight to make this dream come true?

Fifty years ago, for five minutes you came within… y-you came this close. It would KILL some men to get so close to their dream and not touch it. God, they’d consider it a tragedy.
Son, if I’d only gotten to be a doctor for five minutes… now that would have been a tragedy.

Renteria dropped the ball
while new SF pitcer warms up.

she admitted she was a “foreigner” and Israeli living in Tel Aviv. Asked a lot of questions about how congress worked.
It was all in diaries she deleted but the comments are archived. If you know how to use the search feature they are accessible. I have them archived in a file in my main computer

Dual citizenship.
You can’t tell me he doesn’t dye that beard. Sheesh Get a trim
with a panda hat
and shots of an unhappy Nolan Ryan. Another pitcher coming up for Texas. Damn they change pitchers faster than I can change channels
2 on, 2 out. Cody Ross at bat
I used to love a game called “off the point” or “stoop ball” and it was really hard to get a ball to do that even with scraping you knuckles on the point.
Now three hundred and something feet, that’s impressive.
I’m losing count.
