cosmolinguistIt's a good thing po8crg had already told me about it because I still got a little emotional when I scrolled past a news story about Joe Mauer catching in what might be the last inning of his last game.
Apparently it made me make a face/noise that Andrew recognized because he asked if I'd seen another picture of a good dog (I had just shown him a picture of a good dog).
I tried to explain about Mauer, the local hero, the catching, the potential upcoming retirement...
He listened patiently but, really, for non-baseball people, you can probably get most of the same feelings by looking at a picture of a really good dog. (Who has a job, which has made a whole state love it, and who you might not get to see doing that job again.)
