When Cal Abrams became a Brooklyn Dodger in the early 1950s he took the number 18 for his uniform.
In Gematria 18 represents Chai.
Chai means life.
I did not know this man, but his brother Artie Abrams was a good friend of my father.
I have to tell ya, strange as that may seem, this matters to me.
I love baseball. Those guys back in the 50's wore those heavy woolen uniforms. I don't know how they made it through the summer, but they did.
