Nice to watch a live-tv Major League Baseball game and not care who's playing
I wasn't good at baseball as a child but I did want to play. Being part of something that Thedia had nothing to do with was probably a driving factor in it.
At first, I was a good contributor
Being left-handed, I can remember always getting on base
The pitchers couldn't pitch to me so I would get walked or I would get hit
By my third year, they had learned how to pitch to me and I had not learned how to bat
My childhood was in a white-trash (speaking for myself and accusatory of Thedia, she refusing to admit the truth about me now when I needed it most, despite how all those years she would blab away about it to any low-life Arkansas yokel who was around) trailer-park and the only other kids my age were all girls
They didn't care about baseball or football
All they wanted me to do was play-house with them
One time, I had found a wooden-axe handle. The attachment had broken off but it still had a metal collar at the end of the handle
I would go around outside hitting stuff with it with, in the distance, adults yelling at me, younger kids crying
Then one day, one of the older, bigger girls took it from me
She was holding it hostage from me so I would play-house with them out in the field where corn was usually planted
They had set up their playing-house on the other side of the barb-wire fence, near the drive-in theatre screen, and I playing along with them just to get near my prized instrument of destruction
I grabbed it and hauled ass out of there with them yelling at me
I lost interest in it at some time and I don't remember ever knowing what happened to it.
I would keep tuned in all day to a MLB television channel if I had a subscription but I don't
