TheDiscipleMD It was an old-timers game at Yankee Stadium. As I stood at the entrance of the dugout, I looked back to see my boyhood hero, Bobby Richardson (long-time second baseman for the New York Yankees), standing behind me.

TheDiscipleMD The Little League baseball team had just lost a tough one and the ballpark was emptying. The fans and the other players of both teams were walking toward the parking lot and their cars. They were going home. But back on the field, there sat a little boy, alone on the end of his […]
