From the files of oddly well-written and extremely heartfelt comes Milton “Uncle Milty” Bradley, who is submitting a few blog entries about his first trip to the baseball All-Star Game for the New York Times.

A couple of things to note:

1. Milton Bradley is an exceptional writer; certainly much better than, say, Todd Jones.

2. I realized in reading this that I was definitely one of the people who wrote off his career last year during that freak accident.

3. Milton Bradley, in spite of seeming like a raging asshole type of guy, is actually quite likeable.

What have I done now?
