And now, as I say goodbye to Major League Baseball forever, I bid the sport a final farewell and raise a toast to the greatest memory of my baseball life.

Watch and be amazed.

And Look Who's Comin' Up

Goodbye, Dodger blue.

I play that video every year on the day the Detroit Tigers are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

The Tigers are the MLB feeder team.
Always trading off fan favorites at the peak of their popularity.

Here's my favorite MLB moment. This is the first game I ever attended.
'92 NLCS, Gm 7 PIT@ATL: Bream beats Bonds' throw

Goodbye, Dodger blue.

Gibson was quite a man, fighting pain through that very long at-bat. He must have attended the Walter Brennan school of base-running before the game.

I gave up baseball in 1977 when the Red Sox lost so ignominiously. I had even bought an awesome Sony color TV to follow the Red Sox that season. Bah.

I still have that whole game on VHS ... sometimes after the Dodgers flail in the fall I’ll pull it out to remember ... and I’ve always loved Vin.
