As a kid I would hold my daddy’s hand and enthusiastically tread towards the stadium to witness the wonder called, “Major League Baseball.” My father was an ardent fan of the game and while watching the players perform on the ground his eyes would follow their action with the fixation of a true follower of the game. For him the game was not merely a clash between two teams or the spectacular performance of his favorite player but it was the pleasure of participating as a fan that watches the game and flows with its momentum. Oh God, I used to love watching the game with him because he watched the game unlike anyone else. It was from him that I learned the fundamental rules of the game. One rule that always baffled him and he was unable to explain was “The balk rule.” I guess he could never comprehend its purpose. He would often say, “The balk rule is the baseball's least understood rule and it has been in the rule book since the nineteenth century. Son, it is not only I who has not managed to understand this rule but the Major League umpire Ron Luciano also was no different from me.” He once said, "I never called ...
... a balk in my life. I didn't understand the rule." To understand and enjoy the game better it is good not to understand few rules and I think my father was right. I am almost 28 years old now and I love the game and watching it with family and friends and that too with MLB coffee mugs to sip beverages from, is more thrilling than any other experience. But I must admit, as a son I miss the presence of my dad and his wise words of wisdom.
The last time I and my dad visited the major league baseball was in the last season when he had gifted me a Major league baseball coffee mug that I treasure and shall always be one of my priced possessions because it helps me tread the memory lane where I can feel his company always beside me. As jovial as ever, cheering, screaming, shouting, and hooting; above all enjoying the game like a true fan, like a baseball man! He loved Willie Mays for his unique and very unconventional approach towards the game. His confidence as a player was simply awesome and my dad would often quote him, “I think I was the best baseball player I ever saw." My dad was right; to be the best one has to feel the best. It holds true whether one is participating in the game of baseball or the game of life, the best will always win.
Over the years the game has evolved in many ways and one should not be surprised to know that the official rules of the game have changed almost every single year since 1845. But what has always remained constant is the passion of the fans and the appeal of this superb game. I watch this game and shall watch it for the years to come, for my personal joy. I could never witness the 5 greatest baseball players in action but I feel I see them in the reincarnated forms of the modern day players who perpetuate the legend of baseball and never cease to enthrall the spectators. I follow the game very religiously and with my favorite Major league baseball coffee mug I enjoy the moments of every match. The best part is nowadays you get custom designed MLB Coffee mugs and I just ordered one with the picture of my dad surrounded by the thumb nail pictures of his five best players of baseball:
1- Babe Ruth
2- Willie Mays
3- Ty Cobb
4- Walter Johnson
5- Hank Aaron
I love baseball because it is a game of passion and excitement that grows with every passing moment of the match. And I love it because I love my dad!
