Baseball, baseball and more baseball today. My son has just started coach pitch, and we seemed to have spent hours watching darling little boys repeatedly missing balls, hitting fouls, wiggling their loose teeth, staring into space, watching in surprise as balls rolled between their feet, getting into tussles with members of their own team and generally doing the kind of stuff that makes you know you're not watching professional sports! I'm no baseball fan (it's among my least favorite sports), but I have to say it makes a difference when (a) one of the players is yours and (b) all of the players are sooo cute.
