Bat Head

Norma and I were walking in our local park last night before dark. For a while we shared the path with four young baseball players in their uniforms. These guys were probably nine or ten years old and engaged in a very deep and thought-provoking conversation.

Just before our paths separated, one of the kids spoke up in a voice that sounded exactly like Froggy from The Little Rascals.

"You ever get hit in the head with a ball bat?" Froggy said to one of his buddies. "I mean besides that one time."

Little League is tough these days.
