Little League in the Park

Our friend Dena was in town, and everyone had brunch in Prospect Heights and then went to the park. We lounged around in the shade eating ice cream, and happened to be right by all the baseball fields. After twenty minutes or so, I realized I was paying attention to the baseball game being played on the nearest field. I made a comment about it, and Peter was watching as well. I don't know if it's a known fact that kids' baseball is skewed more in favor of the offense than you see in the pro game, but there were definitely a lot of big hits and exciting steals. Also, the lack of composure on the part of the umpire was amusing (at one point he called out "double play!").

There were also some very little kids who were basically running around throwing gloves at one another. That was Gabe's favorite.
