My 3-year-old daughter, Natalie, wanted to play with toys in her room. I wanted to watch Opening Day. The compromise: We listened to the Angels beat the Oakland A's on AM 830 as we assembled puzzles.
Listening to baseball on the radio remains one of life's great pleasures. When Howie Kendrick hit a solo homerun, Natalie shouted, "Go Angels!"
This morning, Natalie insisted on wearing her team sweatshirt. She said, "Tom and Debbie gave it to me." That would be Tom and Debbie Hennessy, who were kind enough to buy Natalie the red and grey Angels' sweatshirt at a late-season game we attended together last year in Anaheim.
