My dad was no stranger to sports, especially baseball. It seemed he encouraged us to go out and be active, or maybe he just wanted us out of his hair, haha. I can vaguely recall him teaching Joe Jr and me the basics of baseball; throwing, catching, waiting for the perfect pitch. We progressed with the skills he taught us and dove into other sports such as football and tennis. Although we never became professional athletes, I find these physical skills priceless when it came to overcoming certain aspects of life. We will always have sports, and now I can teach my kids as he taught us. Thank you, Dad. I love you and miss you so much.
