Is this heaven?

I found this article quite touching ... especially this part:

If you throw a parade, they will come.

Thousands of them. Or millions maybe. White Sox fans. Cubs fans. (OK, some,
not all.) Chicago fans. South Siders. North Siders. (OK, some, not all.) West
Siders. East Siders. (In other words, from Indiana.) White Sox fans from the
suburbs. Downstate fans. Baseball fans.

Ghosts out of Iowa cornfields. Shoeless Joe. Buck Weaver. Kid Gleason, the
1919 White Sox manager, who was born on an Oct. 26—it was on his 139th birthday
Wednesday that the Sox played for the championship. Maybe he will come.

And how about Charles Comiskey, the original owner, who died on an Oct. 26?
Maybe he could come too.

And how about your late dad, to have a game of catch?

Maybe they all could come.
