And Yankees fan will sing “Sweet Caroline” after the third inning in tonight’s game (the Red Sox fans do that at every home game.)

So much pain in this Boston tragedy. Hints of kindness help. Big time. Go Red Sox tonight!

By the way, Con Daily, my great-grandfather, played for the Boston Beaneaters way back when. Go Red Sox! Boston needs you!

Baseballs Not Snowballs

Very soon it will be baseballs, not snowballs (pinch me, yes it’s true!) In anticipation, bestselling Catcher in the Sky is FREE today on Kindle (but the hot dogs are $8 each) http://www.amazon.com/Catcher-in-the-Sky-ebook/dp/B00AFKTTOS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362838461&sr=8-1&keywords=catcher+in+the+sky

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to baseball lovers everywhere. For those of you who enjoy learning about Con and Ed Daily‘s life (on and off the field), here’s a look at Con’s stats from Baseball Reference.com. They even list his salary year by year (and he made a lot of money for back then!) http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/dailyco01.shtml

Here are Ed’s stats from the same source: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/dailyed01.shtml

My family will visit Con’s grave in Queens, NY, this holiday–one year we left a baseball ornament. He’s  buried in the All Faith’s Cemetery in Middle Village. Ed is buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Washington, DC (I have to get down there.)

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season, a warm-your-heart Christmas Day and, for Met’s fans, Christmas miracles do come true so keep the faith!
