Very cool. Family is so much more important than a game called baseball. I’m disappointed they didn’t make the WS, but life moves forward. So many children unfortunately don’t have a father & we unfortunately learn what happens as they grow up.

Love this so much.
The patient nature of the father, the need of the boy to work and help his father.
And the love between them.
It’s wonderful. It’s beautiful
