Baseball: Never Too Old to Play "The" Game
by Author, Al Spector
(Cincinnati, Ohio)
Never too old to play baseball
Baseball's America's game
It puts all others to shame
You can play when you're older
With sore knee, back, and shoulder
Strike out? There's no one to blame
There is a philosophy of life that guides us to pursue the passions of our youth as we grow older. What were you passionate about when you were ten years old?
For many, their passion was baseball--playing it, watching it, and using it as a bonding agent for cross-generational family relationships. The author is fortunate, at age 62, to still be playing the game he loves, the game that bonded him to his father, and the game that bonds him to his son and grandsons.
Baseball: Never Too Old to Play "The" Game captures the essence of continuing to play baseball while growing older at the same time--pursuing the passions of youth.
