I discovered my favorite thing about the kid when we were packing videotapes, and I realized David had never seen my homer. Turned out he'd never seen baseball, period. I went through the whole inning, play by play, til he was as excited as me when I hit that ball.
I looked up and Fraser was watching us, and that's when I knew why I put up with all the lost sleep and screaming.
Because that's my favorite thing about the kid: the way Ben smiled, and shook his head, and sat down to tell him how it really happened.
