I remember when he played for our local TriCities farm team, the Dust Devils. I knew he was going be a star someday. I used get really drunk and yell "hit the ball you little sumbitch" in a loving, caring uncle kind of way.

He would wave to the crowd after he stole a base, but I think he was really only waving at me, cause I taught him how to work harder than everybody else with my tough, but fair love.
