Solid post. I’m a baseball history nerd so I appreciate that about this game. Love playing with old legends.

If you’re a baseball book enthusiast. There are so many solid ones, lately I’ve grabbed a biography of a player I’ve been using on the show or a book about that team and time period. I’m a nerd though haha.

When I was a kid my dad gave me "My Turn Up at Bat," by Ted Williams. He's from MA so he grew up a Sox fan. At 11 I started loving the stories behind the game. He told me stories of Williams and Yaz, and ditching school for a day game. We'd watch Boggs and Mattingly on TV and saw Gwynn play live in SD. This was all started by guys like Honus Wagner, Ty Cobb, and Walter Johnson. Such a wonderful History.

I can’t even begin to share with you just how beautiful this post was to me. My GOD man but if this isnt what it’s all about! Bless you man, I thank you for sharing this on here…I mean this from the innermost depths of my soul. Today is my dad’s birthday and he was on my mind upon waking. I lost him 25 years ago but the fond memories that were conjured by the wizardry of your post has made them oh so present again this morning. Again, i bless you and thank you.

ps I just love baseball
