Yesterday was a special day…

I have had catches with my dad for most of the 57 years of my life.

I have had catches with my sons for all of their lives including my youngest son Ethan’s 26 years.

I had a catch with my dad on the Field of Dreams years before it ever become a “thing.”

I have catches with Ethan at least twice a week all spring and summer long as we play on the same baseball team.

Each time we have a catch, it is something special, wonderful, and timeless. I cherish every single catch we have. Having catches with my dad and my sons are some of the most special and the happiest times of my life. Sometimes the most simple things have the most meaning.

Playing catch with my dad is special.

Playing catch as a dad is special.

But never before have we had a catch that ended up in the Guinness Book of Records!

Yesterday we attended the big event at Yogi Berra Stadium where we were part of the biggest game of catch in history.

What follows below are some articles, video footage, and more from this great event.
