Whatever differences I've had with my dad over the years, baseball remains something we can communicate beautifully on day and day out. I'll never forget how stunned I was to learn that HIS dad took him to a Cubs-Yankees World Series game in 1938, and that he used to see Braves games at old Braves Field in Boston. My dad can even still recite the starting lineup of the championship 1940 Reds, one of his favorite clubs at the time. Nothing on Father's Day seems more fitting than watching a game with your dad, and I'm sad that mine is 3000 miles away right now.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('13008','Jeff Polman'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('13008','Jeff Polman','It\'s amazing how the thematic core of \"Field of Dreams\" (or \"Shoeless Joe\" for the literary-minded) speaks to nearly every male baseball fan on earth, even to one as jaded and world-weary as myself.
