What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful child of God. Sometimes we forget about all of the true Christians who are busy following His example by ministering to "the least of these, my bretheren," and focus only upon the power, politics, and hypocrisy that are too often on display in the Church. As far as baseball, there is just something magical about the game and it does always seem to involve family, coming of age, and a spark of the divine. Just watch Field of Dreams, For Love of the Game, or The Natural... Ultimately, we all hope to make it all of the way around to come home, as your dear Aunt just did.

Being associated with the TX Rangers was a lot more fun than either of my two subsequent jobs, to be honest.

So sorry for your loss, Doc.

So sorry for your loss, Doc. As a life-long Cubs fan who spent many, many summers watching games on television with my grandmother (born in 1912 and died in 1999 without ever having seen her beloved team win the World Series), your story resonates deeply with me. It also made me realize, sadly, that although I've been to probably hundreds of games at Wrigley Field, I never went to one with her.

I hope that you find peace and solace in your memories.

Beautiful eulogy, doctor. I'm
