My Dad gave me my baseball the last time I visited. In a flash I was transported back in time, yet not to a particular date. Right now, every time I look at it, that is what happens.
When I was 11 years old my grandfather taught me about baseball and got me hooked. We would watch the Baltimore Orioles. It was his favorite team so naturally it became mine. During that time they had the really great players such as Boog Powell and Brooks Robinson. In 1970 they won the world series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. What a great year to begin my love for baseball!
I still have my first baseball glove. I used it when I coached a girls softball team. My favorite team now is the Boston Red Sox.
Do you still have a childhood toy that pulls you back in time to a happy memory? Feel free to comment and let me know.
