Living a Dream

Dominic Carelli, in the long-standing tradition of fathers taking their sons to see their first baseball game, had planned on taking Dominic Jr (DJ) to his first baseball game. Dominic's father, David, was going to provide them both with the tickets. Dominic, however, was hoping that along with the tickets, a slice of family history would be told firsthand from the only person who could tell it properly because he was the one who lived it. While in David's office, his grandson holds up an object and asks a seemingly innocent question: "What's this?" After getting a little kick-start from his grandson, David takes them both on the most improbable story of a lifetime about living out a dream and making it a reality.
