I went to a baseball game today. I had heard that our local team is owned in joint custody by Porto Rico and Montreal, that their only star was exchanged last year and that we are a “looser” team. But I know NOTHING about the game. Whenever I attend a game I always seem to be looking at the wrong place when something happens. The only celebrity I can always recognize is the mascot: Youppi!
This time I was with an expert. He explained all about strategy, about left and right-handed pitchers and hitters, about fast runners and strong hitters, about batting averages, about fastballs and curve balls, about fly balls and bunts… He kept me looking in the right direction .It was an exciting game: the Expos won 10 to 4! …I even saw the catcher drop a ball (seems this is a rare occurrence) I still don’t know what a strike and a ball are….but heh!! There is just so much time in a game…
