Confessions of a Gen-X Mind switches gears a little in this episode.

No corporate collapses. No white-collar fraud. No deep dives into childhood trauma. Just a summer night in 1985, a Texas Rangers game at old Arlington Stadium, and a ten-year-old kid who needed the world to slow down for nine innings. 
 After a long week that included late-night construction cleanup with my mom, a battered Chevy Citation, and a close call on a dark country road, a night at the ballpark became something more than entertainment. It became relief. Order. Calm. 

With Charlie Hough on the mound, legends like Buddy Bell and Oddibe McDowell on the field, and an unforgettable moment involving two Major League game balls, this episode is about the small, human moments that stick with us. It’s a story about work ethic, quiet resilience, and how sometimes the most meaningful memories aren’t dramatic at all. Just a good night for baseball.
