what i wanted to be

so tonight as i was watching wwe Monday night raw it dawned on me that was one of two things i wanted to be growing up.now mind you i was a kid i thought it was real. i mean come on how awesome would it be to wrestle guys like the legion of doom? or the rockers demolition or any number of superstars. wrestling was so cool and every Saturday night 7 pm on the dot i was sitting on the floor watching. i had no idea of the travel and schedule they had to endure. it was so real. i miss those days. when it wasn't a world known storyline or entertainment. then again they didn't have a pay per view every three weeks. rumble. summer slam. mania and survivor series i think these were the only ones. that was the time of saying your prayers and taking your steroids..err i mean uh vitamins. and man the persona's back then were so great. they had to come up with crazy stuff because well it wasn't written for them and they needed to stand out. nowadays you can get online and know before the announcement of the pay per view whats gonna happen. who's gonna wrestle who. and what they had thought about doing. although i sometimes wish i was the in the dark fan and didn't read the cheat sheets. but i have to know whats gonna happen! and why john cena wasn't on raw tonight. although he wrestled the dark match after raw went off the air. being a wrestler woulda been great!!
    more than wrestling i wanted to be a baseball player. not just any player i wanted to play for the Toronto blue jays...sike! the Yankees duh! first base or center field . i always dreamed of hitting the game winning grand slam in the bottom of the 9th to win the world series oh and it'd be game 7. in Yankee  stadium. man that would be awesome! i love the sport of baseball. i love the stripped ball field the sound of the bat popping as contact is made with the ball.maybe its because my Dad would always play catch with me. or take me to the Jamestown expos games. now the Jamestown jammers. baseball is my all time top sport. i watch when i can and although i want to watch the yanks everyday i settle for which ever game is on. few things beat sitting at the ball park watching a game and taking in the sights and sounds of a cool summers night. and i love the history of the game. i love learning new things about it. Cooperstown is defiantly on that list of things to do. sadly it hasn't happened yet but it will. and i will go to a Yankees game! do you remember the scene from Rudy.. where Rudy's father enters the stadium for the first time and says" this is the most beautiful sight these eyes have ever seen" yeah that's gonna be me and this may sound corny but i may get a bit emotional. the Yankees are mine and my Dads team. and it'll be sad he never made it to a game but when I'm there ill be thinking of him.i may need two days there just because its gonna be once in a lifetime thing and i wanna see all the sights. like monument park and do the Yankee roll call with the bleacher creatures. the national anthem. to hear the late great Bob Shepard introduce Derek Jeter. too see one of the classiest guys ever playing shortstop. to see Robinson Cano swing prolly the sweetest swing in the bigs. i get goose bumps thinking about it. to me baseball will always be the national past time and my favorite sport. thanks for reading yet another thought captured in my little world
