My Aisling: Yankee Stadium Bleacher Creature.

Yankee Stadium Bleacher Creature.

Today, I join the most storied of all baseball traditions. I am giving my children a story that will long outlive anything else I could do on this earth. Today, I will be in Section 39 of Yankee Stadium. Bleacher Creature. Children next to me. Friend and wife as witnesses. Life will be marked as before and after today.

For those that don't understand, this may explain just the surface of the experience.

Wise words: Abraham Lincoln once asked an audience how many legs a dog has if you count the tail as a leg. When they answered "five," Lincoln told them that the answer was four. The fact that you called the tail a leg did not make it a leg.

Aisling: (Irish: aislinn; pronounced ASH-ling): A vision poem.

In an aisling, the island of Ireland appears to the poet in a vision in the form of a woman, sometimes young and beautiful, sometimes old and haggard. This female figure is generally referred to in the poems as An Spéirbhean (the sky-woman).
