In the scheme of life

I have come to realize that in the scheme of life I'm just a minuet particle of dust.

Nothing more nothing less.

I have left no lasting impression on this world.

A memory is all I will be if so lucky.

My secret...

I have a secret.Don't think this has ever been mentioned before.

I'm a New York Yankee baseball fan.Yep my favorite team.The Atlanta Braves come in second place sorry about that Evan Gattis.

My reason for being a Yankee fan.Age 4 living in Standing Rock,Alabama.Summer Saturdays.Watching black and white TV.

Back then baseball games where shown only on Saturday.

The team I remember watching was the New York Yankees.They where sorta the hometown team for us folks living down here.This was way before the Braves came to town.Maybe even before the Atlanta Crackers baseball team.Yes I kid you not that was their name.

Mickey Mantle,Roger Maris,Yogi and Whitey I heard and seen them on TV.

They where the only baseball team I knew.

So that is the reason I still call them Yankees my team.

The little boy from Standing Rock,Alabama is still your number one fan.
