You know this baseball game of ours comes up from the youth - that means the boys. And after you've been a boy, and grow up to know how to play ball, then you come to the boys you see representing themselves today in our national pastime.
I'd give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.
I've never heard a crowd boo a homer, but I've heard plenty of boos after a strikeout.
