I *was* a baseball fan — Kansas City A’s, Washington Senators, San Diego Padres. Got it from my Mom, who loved the game.
In elementary school, the teacher would bring a radio so we could listen to Opening Day.
Drugs, bad behavior, and exorbitant prices ruined if for me.
I was too, couldn't help but be a fan of the greats, that is if you lived in my neighborhood with a nearby baseball diamond and a radio.
