Again, it is you who doesn't get it. It's great that your family was friends with some guy who played a couple of years in D ball. It's all cheddar and crackers that he took you to baseball games, and you can have those memories and cherish them and let them lull you to sleep at night for all I care and probably for all any of us care. It's your petty, inane, childish oneupsmanship that we really don't care for. And I played real baseball, from Little League through high school, unlike the softball-on-a-tee version that you played at your all-girls' Catholic school. Now, please, stay off the Internet. Even your dial-up modem is tired of you touching it.
