A Christmas Story: The Baseball Bat
It was Christmas in the 1980s. My cousin came walking up the steps of the porch holding my Christmas gift.
He is five years younger than me. He is currently a Commander in the United States Navy.
But in the 80’s he was a kid holding a Christmas gift for his cousin.
Before I could say anything, he blurted out, “It might look like a baseball bat. But it ain’t. It could be. Just be surprised.”
It was a baseball bat.
