. . . What I know about sports is nothing
but my Dad was quite a fanatic really,
he had his sports man cave all setup,
with not one, but about three televisions going
at the same time with different sports blaring.
He sure loved the Toronto Blue Jays . . .
and I remember back to 1992 and 1993- he knew the roster
of pichers, catchers, batters, infielders, outfielders, coaches
. . . the wins, loses, strike outs, the players names,
and they won the World Series 2 for 2 . . 1992 and 1993.
Other years he cheered the St. Louis Cardinals or the
New York Yankees from the man cave . . .
Now this was a big event for him and his buddies
and Dad put me in charge of snacks and beer runs,
oh, the hoot and hollering was deafening (Mom said)
Dad left us in 1997 suddenly one summer day
and I found in his pants pocket a clipping from the paper,
sports schedule for July 21 on television- I still have it.
I recall saying to Mom, I hope they have sports
. . . in Heaven.
