Rysa Walker Quote

Kiernan and baseball—it’s like waving a carrot in front of a mule. Put tickets to a ballgame in front of Kiernan’s face and he’ll follow you pretty much wherever you want to go. After that first game we attended in 1905, it didn’t take much for me to convince him to see another game in 1912, and then one in 1924, and so on.
