Road Trip

Boulder Little League, Billings, MT.  T-Ball. I played P/1B which should tell you something about my t-ball skills
back in the day.

One of the best memories I have during the time I was sick was going to my first Major League Baseball game in Seattle.  As a young kid I liked the New York Yankees.  They were good in the late '70's and early 80's, so I was on the bandwagon.  I was also a Reggie Jackson fan as he hit a lot of home runs.  Through some family connections to MLB scouts, I was able to get a baseball signed by the 1981 Yankees when we went to see them play the Mariners in May of 1981.  Jackson hit a home run during the series and for a brief couple days we put Cancer behind us and enjoyed life.
