Keith Yancey and Dwayne Yancey with Boston Red Sox World Series trophy.

When the Boston Red Sox took over the minor league baseball team in Salem, Va. in 2009 — turning it from the Salem Avalanche into the Salem Red Sox — the team sent down one of its World Series trophies as a star attraction.

That’s me and my son, Keith, on the official viewing day.

Baseball is a recurring theme in a lot of my work.
