Pre-Game: Nationals vs. Pirates

*The picture above is one that I took. From our visit to the Clemente Museum in 2012, it's my dad (Sankey, who rarely posts on the blog) with Roberto, his child-hood hero. It was a very special day for him, he was like a kid in a candy store. As one of his children, I really enjoyed experiencing it with him. It's not something you see everyday.
