When I was Five, what did I want to be when I grew up?

I wanted to be a PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PLAYER! I absolutely fell in love with baseball at the age of 3! I just loved everything about the game! From the field dynamics, to the wooden bat, small round ball and the different players!

My love for baseball started a long time ago. I was a little kid, around three years old. I was not younger than this, although I can vividly remember the experience as if it was yesterday. It was actually the very first time that my dad volunteered to take me to a real baseball game. He must have seen my love for baseball because I loved playing catch when I was a young boy. From this observation, he must have seen a future baseball player. He was also a baseball player, so baseball was not actually new to the family. I had the thought of becoming a basketball star. Yet, I enjoyed baseball too much. I was also much too short to be much good at basketball. I saw many innings during my first game with my father. I not stop talking about how good the game was. During the first practice with my own baseball team, I vividly recall what happened the prior day. After my father had informed me that he would take me to the baseball game. This was going to be a better opportunity for my case because I was going to learn more about baseball. I loved every second of playing baseball! And, I’m going to love every second of teaching it to my boys!
