"I can't believe he's turning twelve next week," Bradley muttered as you and he stood in front of a wall of baseball bats in San Diego's best sporting goods store. "It feels like he just turned seven."

You slipped your arms around his waist and gave him a squeeze. "Have I mentioned yet that I love that you kept the Padres game tradition alive every year for his birthday? Ev is going to flip when you tell him you got box seats for the game on Sunday."

Bradley kissed the top of your head and grunted softly as he smiled. "I fucking love that kid. He still asks me to take him to the park to hit balls all the time. And I just don't know how much longer he's going to think I'm cool, you know?"

You snorted against Bradley's chest and then looked up at him. "He'll probably think you're cool for longer than he thinks I am!"

"Well, yeah. Obviously, Kitten," he said as he rolled his eyes and tried not to laugh. "But I might only last another year or so past you."

"You're obnoxious," you informed him with a grin as he positioned you with your arms out in front of you and your palms up. 

"I know," he replied, giving you another kiss. Then he walked around the store and loaded your arms with two new bats, a new mitt, cleats and some baseballs. "I think that's good. Plus I ordered him and I those personalized Phillies throwback jerseys."

"Seriously? You think the two of you needed more Phillies jerseys? You probably already have half a dozen with BRADSHAW on the back."

"Actually I have seven. This will make eight," he said, pulling you closer to him while your arms were still full. "But he won't be a kid for much longer. He's not gonna want to match with me when he's eighteen. And I love spoiling him. And you."

You set everything down at the register while Bradley dug his credit card out of his wallet. "So..." you said softly while the cashier bagged everything up, and he paid. Bradley looked at you out of the corner of his eye as you ran your hand along the back of his bicep. "You want to take me home and spoil me while Everett is with his cousins for the evening?"

Bradley smirked and grabbed the bag, lacing his fingers with yours. "You want to dress up in your bodysuit and kitten ears for me? Let me kiss off your whiskers?" 

You were giggling as you ran out to his Bronco, and Bradley was hot on your heels.

----------------------------

"Dad, I want to try out my new gear," Everett whined as he looked out the front window at the pouring rain a week later. His voice was starting to get deeper, and all of the girls in his class had a crush on him. He had grown up so much since Bradley met him, and sometimes it still shocked him that he had a son. 

"It's supposed to be nicer out tomorrow. We can go then."

Everett turned and looked at him. "But tomorrow's your birthday."

Bradley smiled. He couldn't think of anything he'd rather do after work than come home, get changed, grab his mitt, and go to the park. "Yeah, it'll be fun."

But Everett still looked skeptical. "Won't Mom be mad if we ditch her on your birthday?"

"Nah. We'll be home for dinner. And I'll make it up to her later."

Everett grimaced and started to head upstairs, but then he paused and asked, "Can we wear our new jerseys?"

"Of course."

And it turned out, you were a little annoyed at first the following day. "I have birthday dinner and cupcakes planned. I thought the three of us could eat together here since we're going to the pizza place with Molly and Bob on Friday."

Bradley pulled you close and whispered, "Just for an hour?" He rubbed your back and gave you his sweetest expression. "We'll just hit a few balls and come right back."

He turned as he heard Everett thunder down the stairs. "Ready, Coach?"

"Please?" Bradley asked you, kissing your forehead. 

"Go," you said, pushing him toward Everett. "But seriously, be home by seven or I'll eat all the cupcakes myself."

Bradley and Everett ran out the front door with twin grins and loaded their gear into the back of the Bronco. It was strange to see how tall his son had gotten after a recent growth spurt; he was already almost as tall as you. Another few years, and he'd be the same height as Bradley. Maybe taller. 

"You okay?" Everett asked, and Bradley realized he was just standing there staring at him. He looked a lot like his biological father, but he really looked so much like you.

"Yeah," he grunted, kind of missing the days when he would buckle Everett into his booster seat. Now he climbed into the front seat without help. Bradley started the engine and said, "A few more years and I'll be teaching you how to drive this thing."

Everett's eyes bugged out. "You'll let me drive the Bronco? Mom hardly ever even drives it."

"Yeah, well, Mom doesn't appreciate the fine art of making sure it doesn't stall out on the highway."

"I would," he replied, looking around the interior like it was a hallowed space. 

Bradley nodded as he pulled into the parking lot. "I don't doubt it, Kiddo. You ready to test out your new bats?"

"So ready!"

The grass was still a little damp from all the rain, but the air smelled fresh as the sun dipped closer to the horizon. Bradley waited until Everett signalled that he was ready, and then he pitched an easy slider to him. Everett sent it soaring. "Holy shit," Bradley muttered as he watched where it landed so they could collect it later. "Nice," he called out as he reached into his bucket for another ball.

This time he threw the same pitch but harder. The result was identical as Everett nailed it far into the outfield. "I like this bat!" he said, adjusting his stance, ready for more.

Bradley rolled his shoulders and stretched his neck before throwing his slider again, this time with everything he had. He could feel the ball leave his hand. The perfect pitch. And then he heard the crack of the bat. The perfect hit. This time the ball went even farther than the last two.

"Damn," Bradley said, reaching for another ball and rolling it around in his glove a few times. "Try the other bat," he told Everett, and he watched his son switch them and take a few practice swings.

"Ready!"

Maybe he wouldn't be expecting a fastball this time. Bradley wound up and threw a pitch that even Bob could only hit half the time in the rec league games. 

Crack!

"Jesus, Everett," he said as he watched the ball sail directly over his head. In a real game, it would have been an easy out for the center fielder, but it was hit so well and so hard, Bradley was kind of shocked. 

"Come on, Dad," Everett called. "Throw a really hard one."

Bradley looked at his eager face. He wasn't taunting; he really wanted a harder pitch. But Bradley was already starting to get a little sore as he scooped up another ball. He threw the hardest changeup he could muster, and while it wasn't a clean hit, Everett still got some wood on it. 

But when he threw that pitch again, Everett hit it square on and sent it sailing farther than the other balls in the outfield. "Damn, Kiddo," Bradley said, gaping at his son who looked completely unfazed. 

"Wanna switch places?" Everett asked, heading toward Bradley and handing him the bat. 

But it was more of the same. Sure, the bat wasn't quite big enough for Bradley, and it was still hard for Everett to stay in the strike zone, but Bradley could barely hit his pitches. They were too fast. His slider was so good, he had Bradley swinging too late. His changeup was so sneaky, Bradley swung early. 

Finally, Everett threw a fastball that Bradley nailed so hard, they'd be lucky to find it in the treeline. "That's a birthday home run, Coach!" Everett cheered, jumping and tossing another ball up into the air.

"Yeah," Bradley rasped, just standing there staring at the twelve year old. He felt tears prickle his eyes as he smiled and closed the distance between them. "You're really good, Ev," he whispered, pulling him tight to his body. When his son smiled up at him with his slightly crooked front tooth and bright eyes, Bradley said, "Let's get home for dinner with Mom."

-------------------------------

You loved more than anything that you and Everett had Bradley in your lives, and that the boys so easily lost track of time when they were together. But tonight you made an enormous dinner for your husband's birthday, and now they were late getting back. Just as you started to make yourself a plate of food, unable to wait any longer to eat, the two of them burst through the front door. Everett was talking a mile a minute, and they looked absolutely adorable in their matching shirts. 

"Did you have fun?" you asked, taking a bite of mashed potatoes. It was actually impossible to be annoyed at them when they got like this. But Bradley met your eyes with a soft smile on his face that almost looked a little sad. 

"Yeah," he replied, his voice rough. When you set your plate down and went to him, he pulled you in for a hug. "Thanks for making dinner."

"Happy birthday," you whispered for probably the hundredth time today. "Are you okay?"

He nodded. "I'm perfect."

The three of you ate at the table, but Bradley was a little quieter than usual. And he only ate one cupcake instead of two or three. And you thought you saw tears in his eyes when he opened the enormous Phanatic foam finger Everett picked out for him. 

"I love it. And I love you," Bradley told Everett as he hugged him. "We can put it upstairs in the Phillies room."

You watched the way your son hugged him as he said, "Happy birthday, Dad." There was no way that kid was ever going to stop thinking Bradley was cool. 

"Ev, sweetie, it's time to start getting ready for bed," you reminded him.

"Go on up and get a shower, and then I'll tuck you in," Bradley told him as Everett went thundering up the stairs. 

He was old enough that he probably didn't still need to be tucked in, but you knew for a fact that Everett had never once asked Bradley to stop. When you looked at your husband across the table, he was rubbing his eyes with the heels of his hands. You stood and went to him as you softly asked, "Will you please tell me what's wrong?"

He looked up at you with tear filled eyes before scooting his chair back and patting his thigh so you'd sit on his lap. You settled in with your arms around his neck, and he kissed your cheek and your shoulder as he visibly tried to hold back his tears. 

"God, Kitten. You should have seen him tonight. He's just so fucking good."

"I know he is," you replied, kissing his cheek.

"No. He's better than me now. He hit the hardest pitch I could throw, and then I could barely make contact with his slider."

You let those words really sink in. Bradley was easily one of the best players in his recreational league. He could pitch nine innings and make it look easy. He could hit the ball beyond the fences. "Are you serious?"

"I'm so fucking serious, Baby," he whispered, rubbing his mustache along your neck. "He's twelve. His voice hasn't even changed all the way yet. He hasn't even reached his maximum height."

You took Bradley's face in your hands and kissed his nose. "And this is making you cry?"

He shrugged as you ran your thumbs along his rosy cheeks. "I'm just overwhelmed. He seems so grown up now." He closed his eyes, voice shaky as he said, "I wish I'd had more time with him when he was a little kid, you know? I didn't get to see him when he was a toddler or anything. It would have been nice to have another year of tee ball. Hell, I wish I'd had a few more years with you, too." 

Now your throat felt tight with tears of your own, but you shook your head. "You found us at just the right time. Right when we needed you the most."

Your forehead came to rest against his as he gave up the battle and let himself cry. You loved that he was so soft for the two of you and let you see his emotions. He took as much time as he needed while you ran your fingers through his hair, and when he met your eyes again, he was smiling.

"I don't know what I'm going to do when he doesn't want to play ball in the park with me anymore," he said with a laugh as he wiped his eyes. "I live for this shit."

You kissed his cheek as you heard Everett calling for him to come upstairs. "I really don't think you're going to have to worry about that, Coach."

Bradley stood but kept you close. "Pretty soon he'll be grown. An actual man."

When he tried to walk away to tuck Everett in, you put your hands on his chest to keep him in place. "Yeah. He will. And he'll have the best role model in you to show him how it's done."

Bradley ran his hand over his forehead, and he looked like he might start crying again. "I better go tuck him in while I still can."

You nodded and followed him up the stairs. When he turned right toward Everett's bedroom, you stood in the hallway, blinking away your own tears as you listened to their voices. Their combined laughter filled your house and your heart as you waited to take your husband's hand for the night whenever he was done being the dad who was tailor made for Everett.

-------------------------

Soft and sweet Coach makes me tear up every time. Bradley, Everett is always going to think you're cool, and he's always going to want to spend time with you. Thanks @mak-32 and @beyondthesefourwalls

Peter Tork at various celebrity charity softball games, circa 1975, 1976, and 1977.

Photo 2 courtesy of David Jolliffe/davidjolliffe dot com; Jolliffe captioned the photo with: “Norm Jacobovitz, David Jolliffe, Jerry Hauser, David Cassidy, Randy Foote, Bill Mumy, (Bottom left) Toni Tennile, Peter Tork, Kay Lenz, Mark Hudson“

Photo 3 was published in Spec, February 1975 (via Pinterest), and shows (per the magazine’s caption) Lamont (Fifth Dimension), David Jolliffe, Keith Allison, Mark Volman, Alice Cooper, Albert Books, Neko and John Cholis, Bob Brown, Peter, Bruce Kirby, Jr.

Continued on from yesterday's post...

The following news blurb seems to refer to the top photo’s event:

“Disc jockey Charlie Tuna will lead the radio station team in a softball game against the celebrity team. Each side will be composed of personalities from radio, television, music and motion picture industries. Three of the celebrities will be Kay Lenz, star of an upcoming movie, ‘Cat House Thursday,’ Judy Norton, actress from ‘The Waltons,’ and Peter Tork, formerly of the Monkees.” - News-Pilot, September 16, 1976

“It turned into an informal softball league that raised a little money. We got good press and everybody loved it. We had a great Hollywood Vampires softball shirt and cap with a big V on it…It was Alice and myself with Peter Tork as our pitcher. He was very good.” - Micky Dolenz, Goldmine, 2020

“[We would go to] schools and camps for underprivileged kids and we’d play softball. That’s how it started. And Alice [Cooper] came up with the name [Hollywood Vampires], of course.’ They even had their own team jerseys with big red V’s. ‘Alice tended to be the pitcher,’ [Micky] Dolenz says. ‘Peter Tork, who was probably the best baseball player on the team, he would play left field. I was not that great. I would play first base, usually.’” - Arizona Republic, September 26, 2021

Another throwback to the ‘60s: “Out in the parking lot [at RCA during a Jefferson Airplane session] Peter Tork was playing baseball with the sound technicians.” - Chris Franz (class of ‘69), Wellesley News, November 9, 1967

Las Vegas Raiders x Hello Kitty 2024 Stripe Baseball Jersey: Where Toughness Meets Adorable

When two worlds collide, magic happens. That’s exactly what the Las Vegas Raiders x Hello Kitty 2024 Stripe Baseball Jersey brings to the table — a seamless fusion of fierce Raiders’ pride and the playful, universally beloved charm of Hello Kitty. As one of the most striking collaborations between sports culture and pop culture, this limited-edition jersey isn’t just an ordinary piece of fan apparel — it’s a unique, collectible masterpiece.

A Bold Pinstripe Design

The Las Vegas Raiders x Hello Kitty 2024 Stripe Baseball Jersey immediately commands attention with its sleek pinstripe pattern. The pinstripe motif, a classic staple in baseball jerseys, gives the jersey a sharp and timeless feel. The stripes, in black and white, offer a nod to the traditional colors of the Raiders, ensuring that the team’s identity remains intact. The pattern is visually striking, lending the jersey a modern yet sporty aesthetic.

The front of the jersey features the word “RAIDERS” across the chest, emblazoned in bold black font. This keeps the team’s iconic presence front and center, ensuring that even though the jersey features a cute collaboration, it doesn’t lose the Raiders’ fierce identity. Above the Raiders logo, the Nike swoosh subtly reinforces the jersey’s high-quality craftsmanship.

Perfect Crossover Appeal

The collaboration between the Las Vegas Raiders and Hello Kitty is something no one saw coming, but once you see it, it makes perfect sense. Both brands have incredibly passionate fan bases. The Raiders, known for their intense, loyal following, and Hello Kitty, a global symbol of happiness and positivity, combine forces to create a jersey that celebrates the best of both worlds.

For Raiders fans, this jersey offers a fresh and fun way to represent their team without sacrificing loyalty or style. It’s a perfect blend of team pride with a lighter, more playful touch that shows fans can have fun with their team spirit. For Hello Kitty fans, it’s a chance to dive into the world of sports with their favorite character leading the way. Even if they aren’t die-hard football fans, the inclusion of Hello Kitty makes this jersey a must-have.

This crossover also speaks to the growing trend of inclusive fan gear. It’s no longer about just supporting your team with traditional jerseys and hats; fans want to express themselves in more unique, personal ways.

Comfort and Craftsmanship: A Jersey Built for Game Day and Beyond

The jersey’s fabric is soft, lightweight, and breathable, making it comfortable to wear for long periods. Whether you’re at a game, hanging out with friends, or wearing it casually, this jersey ensures that you’ll feel as good as you look.

The button-up front adds a traditional touch, reminiscent of classic baseball jerseys. This design choice not only gives the jersey a vintage, throwback feel but also makes it easy to wear and style. You can wear it buttoned up for a clean, polished look or open over a t-shirt for a more laid-back vibe.

Additionally, the high-quality stitching and embroidery guarantee that the bold colors and logos won’t fade or wear down after multiple washes. This ensures that the jersey will remain in top condition, ready to be worn year after year. Whether you’re collecting it for display or planning to rock it on game days, this jersey’s durability ensures it’ll stay a part of your wardrobe for seasons to come.

A Collector’s Item for True Fans

For fans who love to gather rare memorabilia, this jersey is a valuable addition to any collection. Its unique crossover appeal ensures that it will be a sought-after item for years to come. The fact that it merges two completely different worlds — football and Japanese pop culture — makes it an even more exciting and collectible piece of fan gear.

Custom Light Blue White Royal Mesh Authentic Throwback Baseball Jersey

Custom Light Blue White Royal Mesh Authentic Throwback Baseball Jersey

Hmmm . . . not to doubt your word or anything, but are you sure your diagnosis (and your aunt’s) was pancreatic cancer and not pancreatitis? The latter is an Custom Light Blue White Royal Mesh Authentic Throwback Baseball Jersey (and very painful) condition that can be completely cured or it can become chronic, controlled by diet and medications but subject to occasional flare-ups. Chronic pancreatitis can lead to pancreatic cancer, but pancreatic cancer can occur without any prior pancreatitis. Diabetes is a risk factor for both pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer (not to be confused with pancreatic endocrine tumors) is extremely rare in persons under 40, and it has very low survival rates — on average less than 5% of persons with pancreatic cancer will survive 5 years. That rate is somewhat better — about 16% — if the cancer is discovered when it is still localized to the pancreas, but this occurs in less than 20% of cases. Symptoms of early-stage pancreatic cancer are vague and often mistaken for other less serious conditions or even just tolerated and ignored. Given your family history with pancreatic conditions, your mother would be well advised to be extra vigilant about any possible symptoms: pain in the upper abdomen or back, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, yellow eyes or skin or dark urine (jaundice). However, almost none of these symptoms become noticeable until the disease is past the earliest, most survivable stage.

The Iconic Sports Jersey: A Symbol of Team Pride

Jerseys are more than just garments. They are iconic symbols of team pride, unity, and a source of deep emotional connection for both athletes and fans. In this comprehensive exploration, we will delve into the world of Jerseys, examining their history, significance, design evolution, and the powerful role they play in fostering team spirit and community pride.

The Origin of Jerseys: A Historical Perspective

To understand the cultural significance of Jerseys, it's essential to explore their historical roots. Jerseys can trace their origins back to ancient civilizations. In ancient Greece, athletes participating in the Olympics adorned themselves with tunics featuring their city-state's colours and symbols. Fast forward to the 19th century, and the concept of team uniforms started to take shape.

The first documented use of uniforms in team sports dates back to 1849 when the New York Knickerbockers baseball club adopted a uniform composed of blue wool pants, white flannel shirts, and straw hats. The idea was to create a sense of unity among team members and help distinguish one team from another.

As team sports gained popularity, so did the use of Jerseys. These jerseys evolved from basic uniforms into pieces of art that represent the team's identity and history. Today, Jerseys are not merely functional garments; they are a powerful means of expression and connection.

The Significance of the Sports Jersey

This is more than just a piece of clothing; it is a symbol that carries several layers of meaning:

Team Unity: Jerseys signify that the individuals wearing them are part of a team. They promote a sense of unity and shared purpose, which is crucial in team sports.

Fan Loyalty: For fans, donning the jersey of their favourite team or player is an outward display of unwavering loyalty and support. It creates a sense of belonging to a larger community of like-minded enthusiasts.

Identification: Jerseys serve as a means of identification. They help players and fans distinguish their team from the opposing team, even amidst a sea of supporters.

History and Tradition: Team jerseys often carry the history and tradition of the franchise. The team's colours, logo, and design elements are deeply intertwined with the team's legacy.

Symbol of Achievement: Receiving a team jersey is often seen as a symbol of accomplishment that an athlete has made the team or reached a certain level of performance.

Individual Identity: Jerseys can also serve as a representation of an individual athlete's personal brand. For superstar athletes, their jersey becomes an iconic symbol.

Design Evolution: From Function to Fashion

The design of Jerseys has come a long way from its utilitarian beginnings. While the primary function of a sports jersey remains to identify and unify a team, it has evolved into a platform for artistic expression, innovation, and storytelling.

Materials and Technology: Advances in materials and technology have transformed Jerseys. Today, they are made from lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics that enhance performance. These materials provide comfort and support in various weather conditions.

Colour and Graphics: The use of colour, graphics, and design elements on Jerseys has become more sophisticated. Teams invest significant effort into creating unique and memorable jerseys that resonate with fans.

Sponsorship and Logos: Sponsorship deals have introduced corporate logos to Jerseys. While this has led to increased revenue for teams, it has also sparked debates about the balance between tradition and commercialism.

Alternate and Special Editions: Many teams now have multiple jersey designs, including alternate and special edition jerseys. These variations offer fans a chance to connect with the team in different ways.

Retro and Throwback Jerseys: Celebrating the past is a common theme in sports, and many teams introduce retro or throwback jerseys that pay homage to historical designs.

The Psychology of Wearing a Sports Jersey

The act of wearing a jersey carries profound psychological significance, both for athletes and fans. Here are some key psychological factors at play:

Sense of Belonging: For fans, wearing a jersey creates a sense of belonging to a larger community of supporters. It fosters a sense of unity and shared identity.

Motivation and Performance: Athletes often draw motivation from wearing their team's jersey.

Team Identity: Wearing a jersey serves as a visual reminder of one's affiliation with a particular team, reinforcing the emotional connection to that team's mission and values.

Emotional Attachment: Over time, individuals develop emotional attachments to their jerseys. These garments become infused with memories and experiences associated with the team and its victories and defeats.

Confidence and Pride: Wearing a jersey can boost an athlete's confidence and pride, as it symbolizes their role within a team and the support they receive from fans.

The Jersey as a Symbol of Community and Legacy

Jerseys also hold a special place within communities. They serve as a symbol of local pride and can bring people together, even beyond the world of sports.

Local Identity: Many sports teams are deeply rooted in the communities they represent. The team's jersey becomes a symbol of that community's identity and values.

Inspiration for Youth: Young athletes often look up to local sports stars and draw inspiration from seeing them wear the team's jersey. The jersey becomes a symbol of potential and aspiration for the next generation.

Unifying Communities: In times of victory or defeat, Jerseys can unify communities. Fans come together to celebrate their team's successes and provide support during challenging moments.

Legacy and Tradition: For teams with long histories, the jersey carries the weight of tradition. It symbolizes the legacy of those who wore it before and the responsibility of those who wear it now.

Conclusion

The sports jersey is a symbol of team pride, unity, and the enduring connection between athletes and fans. It has a rich history, a powerful psychological impact, and serves as a unifying force within communities. Whether worn by a young athlete with dreams of glory or a seasoned pro competing on the world stage, the sports jersey carries the weight of tradition and the promise of a bright future. It is more than a uniform; it is an emblem of passion, pride, and the enduring spirit of sports.
