The back story....on Wyatt's yellow T-shirt

In the course of time I have saved all kinds of baseball stuff including a ball from my 12 year old Little League championship game (in 19xx?) and numerous team photos from that childhood period.  Now, here's a secret nobody knows until now (after all, aren't blogs the perfect world for revealing secrets)?  That yellow t-shirt Wyatt is wearing is about 35 years old.  It was my father's coaches t-shirt from years after I was done with Little League but he was still involved.  He passed away when I was 23.  The t-shirt was simply one of those pieces of our relationship that for some reason I held onto.  It's lived in a chest of drawers, and went where I moved, for over 3 decades now.  In the last year Wyatt found it, the washing machine shrunk it, and he started to wear it.  It was a good color for a Pittsburgh game and the Pirates were my dad's favorite team.
