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
