This Summer We Are All Cleveland

I need a real Baseball Summer. I need to get lost in the stats and the chatter, the day-to-day as well as the play-by-play.

“Dinner was served on mismatched plates with paper napkins and silverware that looked like it had been stolen from a school cafeteria. The spaghetti was from a box that was still poking out of the garbage pail, the sauce from a jar that was sitting beside the sink.
