Hopefully, the reader will have a better understanding of how generations of a family can be connected by the threads of a baseball..
As the pages of this book are turned, the reader will begin to recognize many of these memories and hopefully be reminded of memories that are part of their lives.
Memories are made with the game of baseball, and so many are worth sharing.
He in turn has passed that love on to his son, who now has a daughter who will hopefully understand this love of the game.
This is a story of the son of that son with the famous name and his love of Baseball that was handed down to him.
Now five generations in, this family allegiance is still very much alive today.
That was the beginning of a love affair with Baseball that would identify this family, a love that would begin with the Washington Senators and move on to Minnesota in 1961.
Little did anyone know at the time, including that famous player, just how much that decision would mean to that son and the generations to follow.
