Never Leave Home Without A Sharpie

Never leave home without a Sharpie

Oh sure it's fun to watch the game

But for the under 16 crowd

Its all about balls and autographs

We go to a lot of local ball games

We host a Honker's player

So of course that is a draw

We not only know the player's names

But we have one sleeping in a bed in our house

He's 21

So chances are he'll even drink our beer

At the ball park . . . .
We all have our idea of what we want from the outing
I want a Honker Red Beer and Sunflower Seeds
My husband will have the same
My son wants his glove, a sharpie, and permission
to hang out by the bull pen
waiting for fly balls
and if they don't come
he's hoping a friendly ball player
will toss a ball his way
My daughter wants to bring a friend

It's a ball game, but it's not complete
 Without the details of
What we have created of the event
Then it becomes a tradition

And
traditions hold
meaning
memories
and a history
