Hey guys, some of you may know I'm a photographer at KOMO TV in Seattle going on 24 years (old fart here now). Anyway, I thought you'd enjoy a story I worked on involving something probably near and dear to your heart, I know it is to mine. I have so many great memories from my childhood just playing catch with my dad, uncles, brothers and cousins. Great times.
Here's a story we did on a dad and son that have tossed the ball around for 40 years. This one ends with a little surprise for dad. Not card related but I hope you enjoy it. Thanks. Doug

Great video, thanks for sharing. Still love playing catch with my father and my brother when we can. I play in a mens wood bat league and my father still plays in an over 45 league so we like to keep our arms in shape together. Really nice of the Mariners to do that and allow them on the field.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Wow, that was truly a heartwarming piece, Doug.
The father has a pretty impressive arm for an 80-year-old. Wow.

Thanks, we shot at Safeco during the All Star break and I did a story on the head groundskeeper years ago so we were in. Great that you and your dad still play, enjoy it. Thanks for the comments guys, appreciate it.
Having a catch with my dad was awesome. Unfortunately it did not last very long as he became weak from heart attacks and cancer when I was 15 and then passed away when I was 20. However, I will have those memories forever.
