My Son, The Gorilla

My Dad was no philosopher; he couldn’t explain to me what happened, or how he did it. Like the cowboy stars of old, he could only show, not tell.

These are battles you can win. You do not have to use PayPal in many cases. You do not have to drink Starbucks coffee. You do not have to watch or attend NFL or NBA games. You do not have to belong to the Democratic Party or vote for its candidates. Stop supporting them.

I felt fooled and foolish. I liked Mark McGuire. I still do. I think he was a good man who made some really bad decisions. I’m sure he regrets them. He never asked to be the “savior of baseball.” Neither did Sammy Sosa, who also has been linked to steroids.
