It gave my dad a chance to show me a sport that he cared about and made it that we would have some of the same interests. We didn’t just play baseball together, we also watch baseball together. My dad brought us to Minnesota Twin’s and St. Cloud River Bats games. Going to those games while growing up, I believed that they were absolutely amazing and I had a ton of fun. “The Sunshine of Your Youth” by Cheerleader is a perfect song to describe how much fun I had going to those baseball games and spending time with my
