A New Generation is Born

by JoeMagennis on September 7, 2008

It’s been stated before, but bears repeating … Baseball is a pastime that bridges generations.

Dads pass the passion on to sons, brothers pretend to be their favorite stars as they play games in the backyard dreaming of a future in “the show” ….. and daughters are born into families where the hometown team acts as a continuum upon which stories are hung.

It is difficult to pinpoint one definitive Baseballism in a person’s life simply because the game can be experienced through the unique perspectives of the various stages of the life.

In this particular case it is sifting through the stories of youth, young adulthood, to business executive .. to reaching the conclusion that the ultimate Baseballism resides in Fatherhood.

We don’t want you to try to limit your submissions to just one all encompassing post .. If you have more than one baseball story to tell, we want you to share them!  If you’d like to submit a Baseballism, please visit our Upload page.  We look forward to receiving it!

    Great story! As a dad-to-be I can't wait to sit in front of the TV with my little Braves fan in 2009.

    Of course I'm not sure how long it'll be before we're watching the Braves in the World Series again the way things are looking...

    I really enjoyed watching this one, guys.
  • JB .. Are you expecting a baby!?!? Congratulations! We'll have a few new baseball fans on our hands soon -- we have an August 24th due date. How close are you?
