Marilyn: Part of Grandpa's magic?
Richard: Oh, that's not all. It hung over Susan's crib.
Marilyn: The same baseball glove?
Richard: That's right. Grandpa hangs it there for good luck. He says it always brought him good luck on the baseball team. He believes it'll bring good luck to all the Stewart babies.
Marilyn: And then he takes it back when Max is ready to use it?
Richard: Yes, and replaces it with a new glove so the old one will be ready for a new member of the Stewart family.
Marilyn: Grandpa really loves his family, doesn't he? So do I.
