Went to the park to play some disc golf today. After I was done stinking up the course, I saw that there was a Little League game being played. So, I sat and watched the last few innings of ball. Saw some good hits and one well-turned double play and even a rundown. Everybody played in their normal positions instead of shifting all over the field. There was no check of the pitcher for sticky substances, nor was there a pitch clock. There were no fistfights between parents, and nobody yelled cuss words at the ump. There were smiles on people's faces and both teams praised the other after the game. And they lined up and bumped fists at home plate. Reminded me of baseball as a game, not a business. Was really nice to see.
