Sometimes a story is told over and over and it gains a life of its own. This story is true as I remember it but I suspect that time, telling and age have conspired to enlarge some of the events. Enjoy it for what it is.
14 min - Baseball, Pete's Paddle and Life Lessons
Send us Fan Mail
Welcome to the second Podcast of my “Back Window” Series. In 1959, my father bought a baby blue Plymouth station wagon. I was twelve and anytime we traveled, my sister and I sat in the rear facing back seat. Everything we saw was past tense. We couldn’t say “Let’s stop at that Stuckey’s” because it was already disappearing behind us. These stories, like the view through the back window, are observations through my personal window into the past.I call this episode “Baseball, Pete’s Paddle, and Life Lessons.”
