Portrait of the Blogger as a Young Boy with Baseball on the Brain:

Put me in coach…  

The following shots were taken by an old friend of my mom’s from Belgium who came to visit.  Must be around ’77 or ’78 cause I’m wearing a Bicentennial t-shirt.

That’s my brother Ben, throwing the ol’ palm ball.  Amazing that he could even grip the damn thing, right?

That’s Ben and me with my twin sister Sam.  Like I said, I was very serious about baseball.
