When Baseball Captured You Series: The Moments Mattered

It’s truly impossible to give an exact moment where I knew baseball was always going to rank first in my heart when it comes to sports in my life. Some others might know the very second. That’s fantastic. For me, however, it’s not a made-for-TV movie moment where the kid gets the big hit to win the game. It’s not exactly like “The Sandlot”…though I love The Sandlot it wasn’t just about one great summer.

Rather it’s a thousand little moments that built up on top of each other. Each one carving out more room inside the mind for our great game.
