Chilly Weather Needs Warm, Happy Thoughts


As D.C. endures this arctic blast I find myself needing to think of happy warm thoughts. And so my mind wanders to my youth and I try to recall my first live experience with Major League Baseball. It was a Royals-Red Sox game involving four future Hall of Famers (George Brett, Gaylord Perry, Carl Yastrzemski, Wade Boggs). Pat Sheridan hit a home run and the Royals won 1-0. I got to meet George Brett. I was almost nine years old at the time. Thanks to a most awesome website www.baseball-reference.com, I can look up the box score of that very game and re-imagine the experience, and hopefully stay warm.
