Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets.
And also grandparents!! Opening Day today for Jack E. Boy. He is so excited and his enthusiasm spills on to us as well. I feel grateful to be able to watch this next generation play. Oh, yes, it is obvious that the politics and cliques among the parents still exist as they did when our son played baseball twenty years ago, but for the kids, it is pure joy. They want to be out there in their cool uniform, hit the ball and run the bases. Simple life lessons among the grass...Play fair. Be nice. Listen and learn. Have some fun. We'd all do well to relearn these lessons...at any age.
