Soon after I started this project, I became acquainted with Dan, who sat in the seats in the row right in front of me.  We would chat during the game about the Giants, work, and trying to marry off my daughter to one of his friends; of course, I would periodically bring up my book, and the possibility of a story. Then, at a game in 2011, the season after the Giants first of three World Series Titles, Dan turned around and said, “You are in my living room”. 



Dan's incredible story involves his grandfather Frank, a Giants fan from NY to San Francisco, who was in the Air Force during World War II and carried a miniature baseball glove, given to him by his wife. You can find the story in the chapter What Baseball means to Me on page 147.
