Oh my goodness. I was at K-Mart today and saw a friend as I was entering the store. Peter, you brought back a memory!! During Vinnie's high school years he played baseball all four years. I can't remember exactly which year it was or the town. We were watching one of Vinnie's games and as often happened Sammy was MIA. Usually that meant he was walking toward a concession stand. After what seemed like a very long time someone happened to look up and there he was. He had climbed on the outside of the football stadium press box. Yes I said outside of it. There were no railing on the sides or back and only a maintance ladder going up the side. With my heart in my throat I watched Vince slowly and carefully get himself to the top so he could bring Sammy down. After Vince was able to get Sammy down and I gave him a big hug, it was so hard not to smile and even chuckle at how proud he was of himself. I can't tell you who won that day or even if Vinnie got a hit but I can tell you for sure that many parents can still tell you who climbed the ladder up to the top of the press box that day.
It doesn't get easier, you just get better at it. God is good.
