Being A Dad Is Great

When I think about how lame Father’s Day is – compared to the world-stopping celebration known as Mother’s Day – it pisses me off.  A little bit.

Who am I kidding?  Who would listen, anyway?  Women always have to have the bigger party.  But seriously, being a Dad is great.  A big celebration isn’t needed.  All it takes is a quick look through some photos to realize being a father is rewarding enough all on it’s own.

I get to coach baseball and see my son destroy baseballs and sprint past me in the coaches box on his way to another double.  I get to see  another player on the Bobcats, Trevor Uphold, smiling the biggest smile in the world before he flicks those wrists and gets another hit.

Damn, it’s fun being a ball coach!  It’s a blast being called “Dad.”  A lot of you know that already.  I’m discovering it more and more everyday.

Who cares if  I didn’t get breakfast in bed this morning?  Fatherhood is much better, anyway.

On October 13, 1960 the Pittsburgh Pirates completed one of the most unlikely upsets in World Series history. It was a classic, tense Game 7 marked by heroics, lead changes, and a stunning home run from “Maz.”
