Yankee Memories

After my Alien Night writing. I remembered our last Improv.visit to Benedictine Hospital. Vinnie was empty and distressed and in pain. He could not even hold hands with us. Then someone said, "what is on your mind Vinnie?" "Baseball Maybe?" His eyes lite up and he begin to shine with the Yankee memories. No pain, no misery. Just delight as he sang along with us. Barbara, Phyllis, Bobbie, Pat, Moira, Me and Vinnie and Vinnie Jr. "TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME". It was the most satisfying experience for Vinnie and all of us. We brought him back into his passion and his prayer center. Our human feelings are everywhere. I have been watching the Yankee's ever since. Win or lose its how we play the game.
Thanks Vinnie
