My father never saw me play ball, and I was an outstanding ballplayer. I missed all that adoration. ↗

My father was a good man, but he was a con man. He was a wanderer, nomadic. ↗

My father was never around. It was almost as if he didn't exist. I would tell my friends he was in Cleveland, on business. Sometimes, every six months or so, he would come by for dinner. ↗

My mother was the total influence. My father was what we call a nomadic person; he was a wanderer. ↗
