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. :)

man, who let James Earl Jones in here?
great way to sum it up, though!!!
I grew up a big time Indians fan, but I've been a Rangers fan since December 8, 1988, the day Cleveland traded my favorite player, Julio Franco, to Texas. He's gone through 4 or so more teams since then, and just as many foreign countries, but for some reason I've stuck with the Rangers. Hopefully they can shake the funk they've been in the past couple weeks (except of course last night's win over the Tigers! ;) ) and get back into first soon!
I used to be a pretty big Braves fan, just because they were always on TV, but that waned when they started to get really good and cocky. Now I don't care one way or the other, as long as my boy Julio gets his knocks!
