Team Spirit!

Andrew is back from camp...and back to the Yankees, too. He has become an obsessed baseball fan this year, and it's bringing him so much joy and excitement, it warms my maternal heart. So did the efforts of his beloved Bronx Bombers, who apparently have been sponsoring "Hope Week" for some time now, and making dreams come true for die hard Yankee fans. Makes me question my cynical outlook on professional athletes (especially those who get paid ridiculous amounts of money, like the Yanks). I admit that it's great publicity and "good for the team," and all that. Yet I also must say here that people cannot fake compassion in such situations, I don't think. I still am not happy that Andrew awoke in the middle of the night crying and, when I went to his bedside to help, explained that he was simply sad about the Yankees loss to the White Sox last night. (Go figure! Now go back to sleep, son!) Still, it's great to have such team spirit and passion. God love 'em all.
