Yesterday was a pretty refreshing day all around. Ryan and I went over to Tillman Park to get some batting practice in. For me there is nothing more relaxing than taking some hacks. As my brother and I were swinging for the fences this two year old kid walked over and just sat and watched us for what must have been 15 solid minutes. I was pretty amazed by that. Like wow he is able to just sit here and watch us. My attention span at age 19 is barely 15 minutes! After we finished I gave him a baseball. Ive never seen anybody get so excited over something so small. It was just an encounter with the true innocence in the world. Then my mind went into overdrive. So in 2008 he is 2 years old. Alright so he won't we 19 until 2025. That just seams so crazy to me. Like what will the world be like for him in 2025? I'm paying $4.60 a gallon. How much will he pay? Will we still have such a dependence on oil or will everybody be rolling in better cars? What is his life going to be like? 2025 is 17 years away. That is just so crazy to me to even think about. I mean damn it is Tillman Park, I was playing there when I was 2 and the world has changed a lot since then.
2025...If there is a baseball all-star from Alameda you'll know who to thank.
If. And Then.
