Pat, thanks for the story. So sorry about your brother‘s fate. Way too young. I’m sure he was a good man and left his legacy.

Great column Pat. Thomas Boswell wrote how life imitates the world series and why life began in opening day. I am far from a Yankee fan —but, we share the appreciation for how life is reflected in baseball and how baseball helps us through very difficult times.

That photo of your older brother holding young you, says it all. Wonderful column, Pat!
