Father/Daughter and start of Baseball Season

I feel you are lucky to have those kind of interactions with your daughter at that age. If she shows interest, hopefully that will continue. Good to see daughters involved in the sport of Baseball. I am so glad I got into playing baseball in the mid 70's with my brother. Though it ended after high school, have never lost my love for the sport.

When I grew up in Miami, there was no professional Baseball until I was gone from the city. Only went once to see a Minor league game that was played there.

Did follow the Miami Hurricanes with Neal Heaton(while I was living there). Jose Canseco was around but I didnt know him from anyone else.

You have so many years left with her. Hope you guys have one heck of a great relationship growing up.

If my daughter at that age had said that to me, probably would try and find a small outfit like that one to get for her and take a picture and put the 2 side by side in a frame(with a facimile of the Lizzie Arlington photo).

My two daughters are grown up now. I got them interested in BB when they were young in the early 1970's. Also, taught them to play Tennis when they were 5.
They were top tennis players in High School....and, still play a competitive game.

They rooted for the Yankees (and still do)....so, in 1973 we went to Yankee Stadium to see an Oldtimer's game. In that game, Mickey Mantle hit a HR off Whitey
Ford. It was Mickey's last HR at the Stadium. What a treat for my daughters.

When Debbie and Zoe were "teenie-boppers", they collected BB cards of their favorites.....Reggie Jackson, Thurman Munson, Craig Nettles, "Catfish" Hunter, Billy
Martin, etc. Their enthusiasm collecting BB cards; and, the exciting 1977 World Series motivated me to drive up to my folks home in Hillside (NJ) to search for my
original BB card collection (1947 - 1952). What a treasure find, my Mom and Aunt stored my cards in the attic of our house. And, the rest is history.
I was very fortunate, thanks to my daughters.

I showed my wife the photo tonight and she and I were having a conversation about trying to do the outfit. We had a discussion on what we thought the color of the A and stripes were on the outfit. I had just assumed red, but I really don't know. My wife thought blue could be nice also. Either way we have already started putting thought into it.
