A boy's obsession









I have never known a five-year-old more obsessed with baseball (and he's loved it since he was two). He wants to watch the Marlins play every night. I know that the fact that Josh "Willinghammuw" has been so good to him started that. If he has to go to bed before the game is over, he calls my dad the next morning to find out if the Marlins won the night before. He calls Will to ask if he saw Dan Uggla's catch. He thought Henry Mann's name was Hanley (because of Hanley Ramirez). He acts out plays all day long with four pillows on the floor. When I once tried to get him to guess who was coming to visit, he first guessed Josh, then he guessed Dan Uggla. He is proud to be a switch "hittuw." He's definitely obsessed.
