Can a Single Picture Turn Me Back Into a Baseball Fan?

A funny picture of fans' response to a foul ball at  a major league game.

Who are you in this picture?

I grew up in Dayton, Ohio, as an ardent fan of the Cincinnati Reds during the Big Red Machine era – Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Tony Perez, Joe Morgan, and so many other stars.

I basically gave up following baseball during the World Series strike of 1994. I figured if they could play the game in the middle of World War II, something as relatively unimportant as a money dispute revealed how much heart American’s Pastime had lost.

This picture probably won’t bring me back to fandom.  But it’s a classic that brought a smile to my face – and I bet it makes you smile too.

Wouldn’t this be great as a Norman Rockwell painting?

Which fan do you most relate to?
