baseball home games
Baseball is meant to be a contemplative game. They play music to draw young people to the game. If young people can't come to the game without music, then they should stay home.
baseball hero games
I knew how to read box scores and who the baseball heroes were before I had ever seen or even heard much of a game.
baseball games coins
It is the same game that Moonlight Graham played in 1905. It is a living part of history, like calico dresses, stone crockery, and threshing crews eating at outdoor tables. It continually reminds us of what was, like an Indian-head penny in a handful of new coins.

Any game becomes important when you know and love the players.
baseball games pitching
Someone once described the pitching of a no-hit game as like catching lighting in a bottle.

I'm a big fan of curling, follow all the major world events. Watch all four Tennis majors.
My main income came from failed movie and TV options.

My dad talked a good game. [I'm as a] child got only the World Series on the radio.
memories cat home
1946, if my memory is correct. Harry "The Cat" Brecheen went against the Red Sox in Game 7. I stayed home to listen, practically had my head inside the radio.

At one time I'd been to every park except Baltimore and Houston, but can't even keep track of who plays where these days.
