The apple doesn’t fall far…
My son and I hung out at my friend’s house this evening, but came home just after 8pm. Just in time for him to get a shower and brush his teeth and sit down to watch a little of the O’s/Yanks game.
In fact, just in time to see the 6th inning.
Cooper (the son in question) is obsessed with grand slams. Ever since he found out what one is, he does the little mental permutations (out loud) for what would have to happen for the bases to be loaded and the next batter to hit a grand slam. I’ve tried to make it clear to him that not every batter who comes up is a “home run hitter” so he takes that into consideration when doing his little situational gymnastics.
But we saw the Orioles load the bases and then watched Adam Jones hit a grand slam to move the score from 7-0 to 11-0. He says, “I just don’t know what to say. I’m so happy. I could cry. I can’t believe he hit a grand slam and I got to SEE it!”
I’m so proud…
