Jimmy Doom,

When I first started reading your post I thought to myself, alright...here we go now we are going to hear about a baseball game and since not many people write about them I was so looking forward to reading it. Then you did a masterful job of changing up the pitch to where it spoke about someone burying the ashes of their father. I found the switch entertaining. Thanks for writing this. Terry

Been there, done that. Ashes to ashes. No need to call ahead.

Good one Jimmy.

Yeah Emily isn’t wrong about this one. Nobody would agree to that. I’m not even sure they’d make an exception for famous baseball players. Better just to do it at 3am.

This one is like a shot of good whiskey - goes down quick and smooth. For me, it would be Jameson Stout Edition.
