I don't think I can ever watch the end of the movie, "Field of Dreams", when Kevin Costner asks his father, "Hey, Dad? You want to have a catch?" without breaking down and bawling like a baby.
Britton and I played (and AJ watched) in a Father/Son Baseball tournament in Phoenix, Arizona last week in what (with apologies to Iowa) heaven is suppose to be like. There was unlimited sunflower seed spitting, scratching, butt-slapping, more spitting, and the grabbing and adjusting any part of your body, with unfettered joy.
We played a double-header (two 9-inning games, for the less enlightened. By the way, I wonder where that term ever originated?) on Thursday, and then on Friday we played another double-header. Thirty-six innings of baseball in less than 24 hours!
It was Nirvana!
We won our first game, and lost the remaining 3 games. Saturday we could barely move. I caught all nine innings of the first game (in 98 degree desert heat) and have 3 new bruises in spots that will be difficult to explain to my wife. We are slightly heat exhausted, battered like baby seals, and move "slower than cold molasses through a straw" (Britton's terminology).
Man...that was fun!

glad you had fun! Baseball movies always make me cry, too.
First of all, Britton is getting way too many of those sayings. "I'm off life a prom dress," "I dropped her like a bad of kittens in a river," terrible.
Second, that's awesome that you guys got to play that much baseball together. I can't believe you caught that much, though, Jeff. You don't have to worry anymore. We'll put something on your tombstone about baseball. Dying on the field is not necessary.
Third, I like The Natural and Major League more than Field of Dreams (although I think I'm alone there), oh, and Sandlot comes in third. When Robert Redford hits those lights and the music comes on, and then he runs around the bases with the sparks flying and Wilford Brimley watching in the dugout. Oh, for someone who played 12 years without actually getting a hit, I don't know, that scene just does it for me.
Baseball took the term "double header" from railroading. In railroading, a "double header" is a train with two engines on it. Hence, in baseball, a "double header" is two games on a single afternoon. Surprised you didn't know that.
Thanks Renee!
I never heard that explanation before of the double-header but it makes sense.
I want not agree on it. I over polite post. Especially the title-deed attracted me to read the unscathed story.
Good dispatch and this enter helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you as your information.
