So usually at the start of baseball season I have a Major League night with my brothers. But this year I have to fly solo.

During a playoff game I was walking the concourse and saw a guy in a gentry jersey. I had to tell him I appreciated the effort. Turns out he owned the real movie prop. This scene still breaks my heart.
