A dad watches a son’s dream come true

Here’s your daily dose of sweetness:

A father missed his son’s major league debut and first hit on Wednesday night in Toronto because he was making connections in Minneapolis.

So he settled for seeing his second game on Thursday night.

The kid stroked two doubles for the old man’s entertainment.

Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
