Several weeks ago, I asked the Clerk’s Office if I could give the opening prayer for the House on Passover and Opening Day of the baseball season. Turns out they already had me listed.
I had written the baseball prayer in my mind’s eye before my father passed away.
Some personal moments that I hope are universal:
Baseball is…
Waiting for your father to come home from work, so you can play catch in the back yard;
Meeting Casey Stengel in the dugout at Memorial Stadium and impressing him that a 10-year old knows that you score a short to second to first double play: 6-4-3;
Being cut from the junior varsity baseball team in high school after batting practice because you ducked on every curve ball;
Asking Earl Weaver to autograph a photo for the Speaker and he writes, “Mike, Pass Sandy’s bills, Earl.”;
Having your father in the stands this past July when your team won the league championship; and
Hoping that the House – and the Judiciary Committee, adjourn in time today for you to hear the umpire say, “Play ball!”
