Baseball

Good Afternoon folks...When the opportunity arose during the walk I enjoyed watching baseball games, and can remember several evenings when I pulled off my shoes after a long day and sat on the grass or in the bleachers to catch the local teams. The midwest communities were particularly enthusiastic about their Little Leagues, and people there possessed a healthy balance between cheering their favorite team, and appreciation for a well executed play. Which is to say that Sportsmanship was alive and well ... ;) Now that I have returned home I have watched some local playoff games, and saw a good game on the 14th that went into the bottom of the last inning, 2 out, 2 men on base, with a homerun that scored 3 and tied the game. After four extra innings that same team went on to win, again with 2 out and 2 men on in the bottom of the 11th inning. There's nothing like a close game between two good little league teams who have a real enthusiasm for playing- they put the pros to shame sometimes! I was never much good at B-ball, which is probably why I respect people who can instinctively put one over the fence or turn a double play... I am a humbled fan...
