Here's to Baseball




Hey Brody,
You will see that your Mommy and I have started you an extensive collection of Chicago Cubs clothing. You now own more Cubbies apparel than me. When we found out about you, one of the things I told your Mommy was that I would not force any team on you as to who your favorite teams in sports would be. Well, as you will see..... no pressure. I have had many people ask me, including family members, Why the Chicago Cubs of all teams???? Here is my response.
Many years ago when I was 8 years old, I can remember my Papa and I watching tv together. We would watch many shows. There was Pasquali, a chef, Justin Wilson, a cajun chef, and then there was the Cubs game on WGN. Papa to this day says that the only reason he watched it was because of Harry Caray. Well Brody, wathching the Cubs game with Papa was the highlight of my life. For once as a kid I felt really important. I was watching a baseball game with my Papa. Back then, I always looked at hanging out with Papa a priviledge. Papa was who I looked up to as a child, so to me the Cubs meant more than just some baseball team that had an announcer that coined the phrases "Holy Cow" or "Cubs Win....Cubs Win.....yeaaah." It is times such as those that I can only hope that we will have together Brody. Below are the pictures of the cool Cubs stuff your Mommy and I got you.
Well son, next Monday we will have another Ultrasound of you.
I love you,
Daddy
