    It was years after I left my duties as the Central Region Director for Little League Baseball Headquarters when a co-worker came to my office to tell me a visitor was at the front desk. Inquiring about the identity of the visitor, I was told “he’ll know who I am.” Sure enough, that statement rang

    It wasn’t how I had planned to spend my Valentine’s weekend Saturday.

    A few years ago, as Major League Baseball’s September was winding down, a friend who is a die-hard Yankees fan proclaimed, “That’s it, the season is over,” as his beloved pin-strippers were eliminated from playoff contention.

    It was a sun-splashed, gorgeous Norman Rockwell-type September Saturday afternoon, uniquely perfect for college football. Accordingly, we decided to take the two-hour drive to Alfred, New York, to watch grandson Tucker’s Juniata College Eagles in action.
