I think that every young boy, from now until the end of time, should be required to watch The Sandlot at least 10-15 times before he turns 13. I think I probably watched it about 50. Besides just being a great movie for kids, it also captures the essence of what makes summer great in one beautiful scene: baseball, food, friends, and fireworks.

I’ve had a good amount of all of the above recently, so I wanted to share some media to capture it.

Upper deck at Wrigley Field. Not a bad seat in the house.

I also got to see my first set of Chicago fireworks tonight. Apparently they weren’t quite up to the standard of past years (according to my girlfriend the Chicago fireworks aficionado), but I still loved every second of it. I have a somewhat irrational love of fireworks. If I ever have kids, I hope the appreciate them as much as I do. Every family has one holiday that is THE holiday at their house. It’ll be a tough call for me between the 4th of July and Thanksgiving (I’m an even bigger football fan than baseball fan), but really, can you beat this?:

And the finale…
