Anyone have any cool stories about sports and your Dad?

JASONBANZ-I am taking a little personal break from posting on here.But i just had to come on to comment.I figured it's the least i could do as you posted the pictures i requested.And let me just say those are beautiful pictures all around,face and all.Man i really love that expression on your face as that alone is the price of any gift.That's the look you are looking to get when someone opens a gift of yours.I know when i gave my brother his game used troy riddle jersey for christmas.And he just saw the box that said "meigray" on it,well that look on his face alone was worth the price of the jersey.I saw on your other thread about the frame.That looks great with that picture.I got a pair of brett kiesel glove of the steelers that he gave me during a game.And he signed the gloves before giving them to me.But i also put it in a frame like you did with a picture.And it was apicture that i took at the same game.And i mailed him the picture to thank him for the gloves and he sent back the picture signed to me.So thats great to put a picture with the gloves.Well back to my personal break,but just wanted to say thanks for posting that my friend.

Joba,
Just for you, the pics of me opening the gloves. Ignore the nasty looking red eye and my ugly face! Hope you enjoy!

Don't really post much on this site but enjoy reading every day. I feel like I know some of you even though I've never talked to you. My Dad passed away today and although we never were really that close I have one small memory to share. I'm from Wisconsin and my Dad lived in Green Bay about a mile from Lambeau Field. Back in the 80s and early 90s he used to get tickets to the Packer games from his work and he would leave them in his mailbox for me and my brothers to go to the game. One game really stands out. I was in college and he really wanted me to take a break and go to the game. I still have the ticket stub as I saved them all from the games I attended. It was a Thursday night game against the Bears, October 17th 1991. It was a much needed break for me and I'm glad he insisted I go.

JASONBANZ-You posted a picture of you and your dad.So i thought you deserved me posting a picture of me and my dad.It's a very old picture so i am sorry for the quality.But it's a picture that has always been my favorite.It's my dad and little boy at the drag races.As my dad used to be a drag racer when there was a track here.And the whole family would go every weekend to see him race.And in the picture you can see his car in the background.And my mom took the picture as you can her foot in the corner of it.Well anyway,jason this picture is for you and the greatest thread you started.
