susandennisThe baseball game is on the radio. It's such a wonderful, comforting sound. When I was a little girl I used to listen to baseball games with my Grandpa. We'd sit on the back porch and you had to be real quiet. If you weren't real quiet you got booted out. (My brother and sister never made it past the first inning.) But, if you were real quiet and made it to the 7th inning stretch, you got a Coke A Cola. And, you got to drink it right out of the bottle. (This was as close to illicit substance as I got before college. In my Mother's house, you got a soft drink about twice a year and NEVER did you get to drink it out of the bottle.)
Anyway, by the time I got to that Coke, I was totally hooked on the game. Dizzy Dean and PeeWee Reece were the announcers back then. Today is a Spring training game that doesn't even count and I have Diet Dr. Pepper instead of Coke but it's still wonderful.
