    No April Fools Jokes

    For the love of God, this is my least favorite day of the year. Please nobody try to pull something.

    It's my little Boy's Birthday today. 1 Year Old. No joke.
    It's absolutely pathetic that people can't have an opinion from actually watching games and supplementing that with stats. If you voice an opinion that doesn't fit into a black/white box you will get completely misrepresented and basically called a tobacco chewing traditionalist...

    You know, he's my youngest; so I've two older. The oldest will be 25 in June, the middle one is graduating from college in six weeks and time just marches on. Yesterday at the parade or at the game, I'd see these little kids and there's times I ache at that being past (some of the other stuff, not so much!).

    I told my oldest daughter who came to the game with us that I'd have to go to baseball-reference.com to see when her first game was (Business day special, rain delay, extra innings, ended on first batter up after the delay - we stayed the whole game). My wife noticed some little girl in overalls at the game, so last night she dreamt about daughter #2 in overalls. Yikes, the time flies!

    But what does James Early Jones say in Field of Dreams?

    The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.

    This is the first time in a LONG time that I did not go to Spring Training in any capacity. I decided that I was not going to miss one second with my little boy. I missed some time with my daughter and I vowed I would not do it again. My two kids give me more joy than any baseball diamond.

    It's amazing to me that my daughter will be 7 next month. It was just yesterday I was trying to figure out how to get that darn baby seat locked in my car at Good Sam.

    Re: No April Fools Jokes

    So I looked up the game which was my daughter's first game - I'm guessing it was this one on August 28, 1983 http://www.baseball-reference.com/bo...98308280.shtml. This is the only extra inning game we won at home after she was born, plus it's the Cardinals who my wife grew up rooting for.

    Here's the crazy thing: The pitcher who got the win was a guy I don't recall at all, Ben Hayes, a 25 year old in his second and last season in ML baseball. Now my daughter will be his age, 25 and he's turning 50 with a brief career in 86 games for the club over the 82 and 83 seasons, putting up a .500 record. Time rolls on.

    It looks like the 1st April Fools Day joke thread of 2008 was a big success, going completely over everyone's head, and proving once again that Redszone is home to the most intuitive sense of humors in all of baseball fandom.
