A Letter To Gene Autry

Hey Gene, it's been a long time.  I remember as a child, you sitting with my family during the games, you seemed larger than life to me.  Dad  is gone now, and mom can't make all the games.  She wears her red every game though and proudly hates the Dodger (STILL!!). 

You would be proud of the kids this year.  Mike has really had them playing to a higher level than they even thought they could play at.  I wish I could see you shaking Mikes hand and offering your congrats to this throw-back, cowboy kind of leader.

We have this thing called BLOGS now, an interesting means of communication where we all get to talk about our beloved Angels, good or bad. The passion here is just great and again, you would be proud. 

I wish you could be be here Gene, the Stadium is all RED, all the time.  I remmember the days when we as kids,  we were there along with maybe 7000 other fans.  Those days are long gone.

Time have changed Gene, but your spirit remains.  I wear my Angel jersey every game displaying your name and #26 in your honor.  between Dad and you, you made me the man that I am today.  I thank you for this. 

Keep a stadium seat open for me Gene, and I hope the hodogs and good, the beer is cold and the view of my beloved team is unabstruted.  Thanks for letting me get these coments off my chest. 

We all LOVE and miss you,

Just an Angel fan & 'Ol friend,

Hapyorange
