As I grew older and more mature I learned a lot about my grandfather. I was told stories about his life and what a great ballplayer he was.

.... we realize that we face substantial pain and emptiness ahead. The narrator begins the story by describing the times after supper when he and his friends would play on the streets. These nights were very gratifying for the whole group, and when the narrator's uncle used to drive up the street, they would all hide until he was safely housed. Or at times, Mangan's sister would come out to call him in for tea, and they would all hide until she either went in or until Mangan gave in and went inside. It was with Mangan's sister whom the narrator finds himself in love .....
