Father's Day Memories

   



Happy Father's Day!!!

As this beautiful Father's Day winds down I just want to share a memory or two aboout my Father Robert L. Edwards.

I have taken a lot of  ribbing about being a Chicago Cubs fan growing up on the Southside of Chicago. The reason I am Cubs fan is becuase of my father I remember him watching Cubs game on Channel 9. The cool thing to me was he would have the television on but with the  sound down and a radio on top of the big zenith. I remember him watching Saturday baseball on NBC and Monday Night Baseball on ABC his insight I didn't understand  at the time. His knowledge of baseball was second to none I was always impressed in his evaluation of talent.

I know sports is a small part of life but for me it is how associate a lot of my memories. I will have to go to a Cubbies game this summer buy a scorecard and  give my unfiltered opinion during the game as a tribute to my Father. I remember going to Cubs game with him dress shirt, slacks, hat and big Buick buying me hot dogs. The little things in life are etched into your mind for a lifetime.

Thanks Dad for my love of the Cubs, Baseball, and most of all for always being there for me.
