My father played catch with me, taught me to swing a bat, coached my Little League team, ironed letters on all the team caps for the league, and watched every game he could, but we never watched a big league game together. I got to see one exhibition game with him in Mobile. Chicago White Sox against the Cleveland Indians, just a a couple of days before Rocky Colavito was traded to Detroit. I still have the lineup sheet--it was a single piece of paper with the teams listed on opposite sides and the wrong date--and a baseball with Colavito's autograph. Later, though, we didn't talk that much about baseball. It would have been great to see a couple of regular season games with him, but I'm grateful for the time. I also remember the Big Red Machine, and I think their World Series against the A's in 1972 may be the best ever, although it doesn't get in the highlight reels. Thanks for reminding me of all this.

I remember the feeling. And, also former husband once left his suitcase in the parking lot and daughter and I had to fly out w/o him to Disney. (It was part business for him.) I love Cincy and I ate all of those things last time I went out to the ball park. Braves style. All my friends could not believe a health conscious nut could eat so much junk. http://www.susangregggilmore.com/2009/07/22/the-big-red-machine/comment-page-1/#comment-258 Ruby Self Thu, 23 Jul 2009 19:35:44 +0000 http://www.susangregggilmore.com/?p=343#comment-258 I'm not sure where my other comment went, so I'm re-posting it.
