Baseball

America's greatest passtime is on. I absolutely love baseball and this is the all-star game. I have so many wonderful memories of growing up in Detroit enjoying the Tigers.
One day my dad was home (must have been a Saturday - he worked afternoons) and we were watching the game together. He said, "That umpire's name is Al." I asked him how he knew that (hopefully I was about 9 years old.)
"look at his hat. His name is on it."
Wow! It was!
Then Daddy showed me that all the umpire's names were Al. I've got to say, I was surprised. I was baffled until I got old enough to realize 'Al' wasn't a name. It was initials for the American League.
