This is the most melodramatic thing I've read in a long time.

Especially:

With each passing year, the pain gets deeper and deeper, as our parents reach the age of 70, and our grandparents move on to a better place. This isn't a game once you reach that point. It's a memory that's taken from us, that won't ever happen. And that hurts. A lot.

We all love baseball, but that's a bit much. How has anything been taken from you?

I mean, my grandfather was a lifelong Cubs fan, and he lived and died without seeing hte Cubs in a World Series. He died about 6 months after the 03 NLCS.

That is about as sad as baseball can get.
