Matt, Thank you for opening up about how special Baseball is to you. I always thought that it is “just a game”, I can now see that that is not true for soooo many fans of this sport. I will never say any sport is “just a game” ever again. Much respect to you and your family. God Bless you all and God Bless The Giants!!!

Matt,
Thanks for sharing your memories of your father and learning the game of baseball from him. In 2002 when the Giants lost to the Angels, certainly I was disappointed, but being that my father had always been a fan of the Angels, I was happy for him. He was able to tease me for awhile and I enjoyed it. Now that the Giants are “The World Champs” I would like to give it all right back to him, but he is gone . . .and I miss him.
What is that special connection between fathers, sons & baseball?

Matt, your touching words about your dad made me cry. I am sure he was watching the game with you, just from a little higher chair. I miss him too. Sue

What a beautiful tribute to your fantastic father who rightfully is well missed, Matt. Bill is proud of you; I am certain of that. Love, Aunt Kaye

When I saw Dad watching the Giants on his deathbed, I stopped pretending I liked the A’s more than the Giants. I’m not sure when that actually happened, but it was when I admitted it to myself. I only picked the A’s because I thought maybe I shouldn’t copy you in every single way for once. Of course, all I ended up knowing about the A’s was what you taught me anyway, and generally, I still knew more about the Giants.

A couple years ago I watched Field of Dreams and I cried like a baby. You said why pretty well above.

Go Giants! I miss you, Daddy.
