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.
