“It’s only a game,” Seth consoles, standing behind his Papa Sol in the living room in Berkeley as his grandfather, alone in the house this morning, reads the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle.

“Take the bum out!” a forlorn Sol whispers to himself as he looks at the photo of Bobby Richardson nabbing McCovey’s rope.

“Take the bum out!”

Papa Sol tilts his head back and looks straight up, as if his empty stare could shoot through the ceiling and the roof and go directly to the Almighty to seek comfort.

His eyes are piercing straight through Seth’s invisible eyes.

Seth sees the same odd look on Sol’s face as when he was scrutinizing the clipping in his Brooklyn basement, the article about the hundreds of fans claiming they had the “authentic” Bobby Thomson ball. A shiver of fear courses through Seth’s body.

Papa Sol’s look is searing into Seth’s brain, etching itself indelibly. It is almost too painful to return the look.

Seth closes his eyes.
