So my oldest, Colby, who is 9, has become quite the ballplayer and fan in the last year or two. Earlier this week he had his first real run-in with a screaming one-hopper in the infield. It took him a few hours to get over the "oh my goodness that's the hardest I've ever been hit with anything" panic, but by the next day he was telling some tales about it in school.
For those of you who go back with me a few years, in order to help him get over the injury I finally went into the attic and grabbed some old Twilight League uni shirts that I've had ever since the BIW team went under (the boys had been asking for weeks that I get them so that they could wear them around). With a nod to the Mayfair crowd (Augusta, Maine, circa 1975), the three shirts here were worn by Peter Wagner, Ryan Card, and Bobby Porter in the summer of 1990, I think.

Dude, nice parenting. I'm calling DSS.
