Episode 51- Centerfield
With the arrival of Episode 51, I was drawn to #51 of the St. Louis Cardinals, worn so well and for so long by Willie McGee. As a rookie center fielder for the Cards, McGee patrolled the field like a boss. He's still teaching young Cardinals outfielders how to play the game.
I played a lot of baseball growing up, well enough to have had college baseball opportunities. I chose a different path, influenced greatly by my parents and other mentors.
The in between of life both in age and in circumstance is an interesting place to live. It's my turn now as a sort of patriarchal figure in our family lead the way in getting the middle of good things for the sake of others.
