My dad had no athletic ability. Could barely play catch. But he was a walking baseball encyclopedia with a huge box of T206s in his closet.

He always pulled out the Fred Snodgrass card and talked about the muffed fly ball and laughed at the guy's name.

Now, I laugh about Snodgrass. Sure would like to have his autograph.

I think, as Field of Dreams illustrates, baseball is but a premise delineating a father-son bond.
