Like anyone else who is appalled at how Big Media has turned into Pravda for Barry and Joe Hairplugs, I’ll be concentrating on politics until the election.
But Mr. B. fans might want to know that he is going through a terrible batting slump. Big hitter that he was in T-ball and coach-pitch, he is having lots of trouble adapting to player-pitch. Since June, he’s only hit two foul balls. After striking out the other night against the River Cats in Fall Ball, he was in tears. At least he swung at two of the pitches. Too many of the kids watch them go by, hoping the kid pitcher will throw so many balls that, under the rules, they’ll then get a coach-pitch which they can hit. With just two games to go before the end of Fall Ball, we’ve got our fingers crossed that Mr. B. gets a hit. Elsewise he’ll have to wait until the Spring Season starts in late February for another chance. The good part, so far, is that he refuses to give up.
