Fishing With Jesse Barfield, A Dream


Originally posted at FanShots

Last night I had a weird dream. And the reason I’m writing about it right now is that it’s sports related. Now, I’ve had sports dreams in the past. But I’ve always either been dreaming about playing sports or watching sports. This dream was different.

Last night I dreamed that former Toronto Blue Jay and New York Yankee Jesse Barfield came out to my mom’s property out in the country and fished with me while we did some sort of fundraiser.

I have no recollection of what we were fundraising for but there was old Blue Jays merchandise all over the place, some paintings, and old bat or two and a bunch of stuff that I would happily have in my apartment in real life.

The dream was pretty realistic and included Jesse Barfield at his current age of 51, not in his mid-20’s as he I remember watching him in uniform.

I do remember telling people how great Barfield was back in the day. I bragged about how fantastic his arm strength and accuracy was and that he led the American League in outfield assists in 1985, 1986 and 1987. I even remembered to tell the people that he led the Major Leagues in home runs with 40 in 1986.

I also remember doing some fishing. The pond at the property is about 2 acres in size and is stocked with Bass. I don’t remember who pulled more fish out of the water, but it was a good time.

I have no idea where this dream came from. I do plan on running a fundraiser at my mom’s place this summer. But I don’t think Jesse Barfield will be there.

I do find it a little odd that I don’t remember any other baseball players being at the fundraiser. Not even current Blue Jays.

Either way though kids this dream came out of nowhere. Stay tuned to see if I have any more dreams including old all-stars.
