tennis, life and a few things in between

My father-in-law’s health has been in decline for number of years. Now he walks with great difficulty. I never really think about handicap that much. But the other day, when we took him to the Citi Field did I think about it. He gave up his handicap licence when he no longer able to drive. My dilemma was what should I do? And thought about it, many handicaps couldn’t drive, so shouldn’t their drivers get the special licence instead? I asked the Citi Field. No, they won’t give me special parking privilege, but replied within few minutes.

Unfortunately, without the Handicapped Parking tags you are not permitted to access the spots.
We would say to get here as early as possible to get parking as close as possible to the Ball Park.
As an alternative, you may drop him and another member of your party at the Bull Pen gate (on Roosevelt Ave) and then go and park your car.

I dropped him off at the Right Field gate on 126 Street @ 37th Avenue, the dumpy auto repair shop row that made the area so undesirable.

A night out with grandpa, he really enjoyed it.
Found a fan who wore Lenny Dykstra. He still has fans here.

Crew refers to the sport of rowing, where teams row competitively in racing shells.

Whenever I visit Boston, I expect to see the crews on the Charles River. It’s just part of Boston or Cambridge.

Flo Hyman (1954 – 1986), Lang Ping‘s idol, her enemy on court friend off court, was acknowledged as the best female volleyball player of her time. She built like a man and she was as powerful as a man.

Even better than Lang Ping, Hyman got the best spiker at their time. After her death, Lang Ping got the best spiker award.

One thing worth mentioning about Flo Hyman. She died on volleyball court in Italy when she was representing a Japanese team. With the money she earned, she was supporting 30+ black orphans in the U.S. After her death, the US team fell apart in 1988 Olympics.
