Baseball is sentimental. It's nostalgic. It makes the little moments into big ones.
So am I.
I think that's one of the many reasons I've been drawn to it.
This post is going to be in that same vein, so it's okay if you want to skip down to the meat of it all.
Like most kids obsessed with baseball, I wanted to be on the field. I wanted to be the next Scott Rolen or Eric Chavez.
That obviously didn't pan out.
A love of the game doesn't face when those expectations dissolve, it just shifts.
