"Hey, Dad, You Wanna have a catch?"
Another Father's Day is just a few days away. During three of my favorite baseball films, The Field of Dreams, The Natural, and For the Love of the Game, there is one constant, one moment when the hero of the film has a 'catch' with his son.
I'm in the midst of my ninth decade on this earth. I've put a baseball in the hands of both of my sons, my three grandsons, and two of my great-grandsons.
