Going back decades for this memory. I remember it clearly when you took me to my first ML baseball game on opening day. Got to miss school, eat a hot dog, ice cream and peanuts and wash it all down with a couple of cokes. Sitting up high down the left field line looking out across the field I remember how green the grass was and seeing players I knew only by my baseball cards. What a really cool uncle you were to this little boy. Rest In Peace.
