#1: Game 1

If I had been a boy, being a Major League Baseball Player would've been one of my dream careers. Baseball is in my blood, Im sure my Mom played while she was pregnant with me or sadly sat off the season because of me. When I was little, I remember chasing foul balls for quarters at whatever tournament my Mom was playing at. When I got older, baseball was my game. Until a move and traveling for work got in the way of committing to a team, I loved baseball.

Thanks to my parents for giving me such a wonderful game to enjoy and for spending hours catching my pitches in the backyard. Kim Wyse thanks for being my first catcher besides my Mom and Dad and for great memories on the ball field. Gary Brucker still the best ump, no bias in any games I'm sure ☺️

So #1 had to involve baseball. And the Astros were kind enough to provide not only the ALCS championship game but a great pitchers dual and a nail biter. Thanks Clayton Taylor for taking the lead off position in this great adventure of #50before50.
