My Dad was born and raised in SF, his boyhood hero was Willie Mays. Our bedtime stories were from "Say Hey: The Autobiography of Willie Mays."

My first baseball card was a 1986 Donruss Will Clark rookie card. I wanted to have The Natural's swing so badly that I even learned to hit left-handed, though I never did get that swing down.

Now living in MN I don't get back for many games. Last game I attended was this one: http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=290812126. I got tickets behind home plate and took my little bro as part of his bachelor party.

Oh, and I almost puked when I found out my son's t-ball team was the Dodgers.
