Mixing the awful (dental appointment) with the great, (A's game), on my day off resulted in some serious reflection between innings of the A's vs. Texas game. This season I went to more games than I have since my college days when tickets were cheap and I had more free time than I needed. To my delight, my wife the lovely one became an A's fan and we spent some great time together at the games. She teases me that I am like Jimmy Fallon's character in "Fever Pitch." I might be, but, I haven't been able to find an Oakland A's shower curtain, but, I'm still looking.
It may be a long cold winter until spring training. But I've already put down my deposit for season tickets for next year. Also, Hollywood, or more specifically, Brad Pitt have produced a movie about Billy Beane and the 2002 Athletics. I hope the movie creates more fans because we sure do need more bodies out at the ballpark!
I haven't set the date yet for my annual Baseball Movie Film Festival, but announcements should be made shortly. In the meantime, I will gaze fondly at the above photo and I hope you do too until pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training.
