Now that might not seem like a big deal to the average person, but for someone who is tethered to an Oxygen tank, it can be a big deal.

Especially for me, because I remember the days when we shared season tickets with a bunch of people who worked with Laurie out at the Berea Children’s Home. Each couple would get eight games and they were spread out over the season, so that we all had spring, summer and fall games.

I looked forward to each and every game because I always loved baseball and it gave me a chance to focus on something other than work for at least eight times a year.

I want to thank all of you for all the support you have given me over this, my very personal Odyssey.

2. Good to hear!
Hope you had an enjoyable time and you definitely had good seats

I'm a big baseball romantic as well and know of its therapeutic power...

As an aside, that is also some excellent writing...How have I never seen your blog before?? I've got some back-reading to catch up on!!

4. Sorry you had to see the Indians
At least they weren't playing the Royals, so you might have gotten to see one Major League team.

11. As a Nats' fan, I know exactly where you are coming from. Still, wasn't a bad year for the tribe.

These are arguably the two best proven players on the team.

9. It was a fun ride this summer wasn't it?

I live in Columbus and am a fan of both Cleveland and Cincy (I hate it when they play each other)and obviously the Tribe had a better year than the Reds (Joey Votto, that Canandian cutie, being the exeption). Now, come on Browns, win a freaking game!!!
On edit: After clicking on your wonderful blog I'd like to reinerate what the previous poster said-you are indeed an inspriation.

10. Thank you...
It was a good game. They were playing Detroit and we lost 7-6...

It was tight all the way through.
