Take Me Out to the Ballgame

We have a baseball book at our house. 

Actually, we have a lot of baseball books at our house,

but one book in particular,

Baseball on the Brain -

paints an accurate picture 

of the excitement of the arrival of spring

in our family.

Family...as in

everyone!

We all get giddy.

Sure, having a personal interest

(you might even say investment for some of us)

in a certain 6'3, right-handed pitcher

makes it even more appealing!

Anticipating the familiar sights and sounds

at the ball stadium

are almost more than we can take!

The better-half and I have already started

eating an alarming number of hot dogs

and peanuts. 

We hear organ music in our sleep.

We call each other "Babe."

I have to be honest though.

I can't hold a candle to 

my better-half's 

love of the

game.

He and his youngest

live, eat, breathe...

baseball.

When Drew was little,

his dad would ask him -

"You want me to read you a book before you go to bed....

or

would you rather watch a little baseball?"

 Mmm hmmm...

Baseball...

gotta love it.

(I guess If I didn't love it,

someone around here might yell

at me...

"You're out!":)

 Please...

take me out to the ballgame - 

I can't wait much longer!
