Genaro Nunez Will be missed
What is it about baseball that makes men into little girls??? I know, I know "there's no crying in baseball", but i'll be damn if i don't get teary eyed in "Field of Dreams" when he's playing catch with his dad, or in "For Love of the Game" when he reaches just a little deeper to get those last outs.
So why am I bringin this up??? Because i was looking through these forums and just out of pure concidence landed in the dynasty thread for Time Warps 1st HOF ballot. I created a player Genaro "Tito" Nunez, on behalf of my grandfather, and after following the league for a while i stopped. I got busy with medical school and had no time, so i stopped playing.
Anyways, back to my point. Genaro Nunez lived a long life, but after several years of deteriorating health, and a life restricted to bed rest, he passed away just this year at the grandiose age of 90. He will be sorely missed by all. Ok now back to why i'm writing this. I was there, online, going through the thread, when i read all the nice things said about Tito, and about his induction into the HOF in its first ballot, even ahead of the great Whiskey. And although i know its silly i got choked up, and i hate to admit it but even a small tear ran down my cheek. I know, I know, its just a stupid online-league and not real, but he was my grandfather and after the recent loss, this really put a little cheer into me. Thanks Time Warp, and good luck with your league.
Rolando Nunez
