Speaker 4: game forty years ago. On one of the last plays

77
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,799
Speaker 4: of the game, a baseball all flew into the crowd

78
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 4: and I caught it and I gave it to her.

79
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 4: A year later, we were married. Talk about a good catch.

80
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: That's so nice, mister Martinez.

81
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 1: Wow, why the story?

82
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,320

00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,440

Speaker 2: Well, I have how.

86
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 4: Well, Elliott, it can get a little lonely at my age,

87
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 4: and I know I can get a little tired and

88
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 4: forgetful sometimes. But you've kept me company and you've shown

89
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,920
