Although the pros wait until the end of February to start spring training, Larry’s Senior League, the Creakers, has it’s first pickup game today. Larry’s off to test his new bat. With the warning label in mind, I told him to be careful not to kill anyone.
“Okay,” he replied, “But we have them all sign waivers, you know.”
And with that, the season begins.
When someone loves baseball, they really love baseball!
Take my old pa. When asked what super power he would most like to possess
without thinking about it at all said: “the talent of ROGER MARIS”, the kid from North Dakota”.
(Old pa was born in North Dakota.)
And I think Larry would like to have the skills of Willie Mays (Mr. 5-tool player).
