I would have caved in to that kind of appeal too. You don't want to take your kids' innocence and idealism away from them, and you don't want to rob them of the joy that can come from watching their team win in a big league ballpark. Man, I hope you took him to a day game. That's real baseball: sun, green grass, crisp cutouts, players sweating through their uniforms so the dust from a slide turns into a smear of mud, a soggy hot dog, a program to use as a fan or to roll up and excitedly hit dad with when a run scores, clouds to watch when things get slow, and a nap on the long ride home. You're a good dad, leaguegolf. :)
