"I have great faith that Heaven’s there and I’ll see my brothers and my mom and dad when I get there." ― Ernie Harwell Topic(s): Dad More From Ernie Harwell "Baseball is the president tossing out the first ball of the season. And a scrubby schoolboy playing catch with his dad on a Mississippi farm." "God blessed me by putting me here for thirty-one years at Michigan and Trumbull." "Baseball just a came as simple as a ball and bat. Yet, as complex as the American spirit it symbolizes. A sport, a business and sometimes almost even a religion." More In Dad "My dad loved black singers. So listening to New Orleans music, eventually I wanted to play an instrument."― Bill Kreutzmann "My father came from a very poor background, but I was very fortunate in the sense that we were never in need. My dad was determined to make sure that we didn’t want for things. He wanted to give us more opportunity than he had, a better shot at a better life."― Brad Pitt "The best advice my dad ever gave me is that acting is believing. Acting is not acting. It isn’t putting on a face and dancing around in a mask. It’s believing that you are that character and playing him as if it were a normal day in the life of that character."― Haley Joel Osment
