Dreams Really Do Come True

So Billy Crystal is going to be a major league baseball player. Yeah...the dude from City Slickers. That's such a great movie.

I don't quite know all the details as to why he's going to play for the Yankees, but he's doing it a day before he turns 60, his jersey will be #60, it's a one day contract, and he'll play an exhibition game against the Pirates. Okay, so perhaps I do know all the details. I guess that's what a girl gets for watching Mike and Mike in the Morning every morning.

Shame on you for not knowing who/what that is! It's an early morning sports talk show on ESPN and I love it. It's a sickness, I'm well aware. It is also potentially the reason I'm still single...that I often know more about sports than boys and that's either threatening or a turn-off.

And that's a win-win situation if I've ever heard of one.

Okay...I DIGRESS...back to my original thought process. I know the thread is short, so stick with me here. Billy Crystal is going to play in a baseball game for his boyhood-idol team. It's a dream come true.

What would be your dream come true? Is there something that you would like to do in your life that seems so out of reach and incomprehensible? Something that you would have to have major connections to achieve, or pull some major strings?

While you ponder your Dream Come True, I'll throw a few of mine out there:
Go to the Field of Dreams and "have a catch" - CHECK, July 2006
Throw the football at the Rose Bowl...actually on the field
Run the bases at the College World Series...perhaps take a little BP
Sing "On My Own" from Les Miserables on Broadway and get a standing ovation

Do you see a pattern here? You need to revert back to paragraph 3. Couple that with the fact that 75% of my dreams have to do with sporting venues.

Yes...it's amazing I'm still available. The shock of that news is palpable.
