Fall ball

The one thing Mr. Boy likes about the resumption of school is the resumption of Little League’s fall season. He has first practice tonight at 6:30, which should end just in time for him to get a bath and go bed. Fall ball is less about competition than improving skills, so that maybe by the spring season he won’t be stuck in right field anymore. We sympathize with the nine-year-old who got booted from the league in New Haven, but Mr. B. agrees that at his age he would not like to have to face a 40 mph pitch.
