Since you’re a seasoned Dodger fan, you may like this story...
When I was 12 growing up in Dayton, OH, I was selected as one of the best Little League players in the city - even better than the catcher on my team who was not chosen by the city. My batting average was above .800 and I had big dreams of becoming a MLB star.
Three years later, a very cute little blue-eyed blonde moved-in literally next door and cars & baseball became secondary. We eventually married although at 28 she lost a battle to breast cancer.
And that catcher on my LL team? His name was Steve Yeager and he became the starting catcher for the Dodgers.
Funny how life has its twists & turns...
Now THAT is an awesome story. So very sorry to hear of your loss.

That’s a great story. Have you kept in touch with him?

I am going to have to tell my sister your story. She is a life long Dodger fan. When we were kids she had the biggest crush on Steve Yeagar. He was all she talked about. Of course I was the Giants fan in the family and I didn’t care.
