The Tie That Bonds

As of this writing, Babe Ruth and Barry Bonds are still tied for career home runs at 714 each. Bonds will soon be chasing Hank Aaron's record of 755.
I never liked baseball. I loved baseball! Only the Army taught me more about camaraderie, teamwork, and pushing my physical limits. For fifty years I have made the 'great American pastime' a large part of my life. Memories of watching the god-awful Phillies at Shibe Park, playing Little League, and seeing Stan "The Man" Musial's final game in person continue to make me smile.
I fear I will soon like baseball. And you know why.
