Paul loved playing all sports, but especially baseball. The Baltimore Orioles were his favorite team, and he really wanted to be an Oriole when he grew up. Paul was enthusiastic and persistent about everything he did. He asked his dad, his mom and even his sisters, Katie and Annie, to play baseball with him, but no one had time. He went to the baseball field alone and sat down on home plate. He wasn't aware of the tiny beagle in the bushes just waiting to run with his baseball!
