Ok, Dad here. Laura and the kids know that I'm good for a rant here and there. You know, things that just bother oneself....like slow walkers in public places and that Nancy Grace lady. So we are strolling in the park when I notice a net hanging in between two baseball fields. As the photo shows, it is hanging over the bleachers to protect the spectators. I'm sorry folks, but can you not see a baseball (or softball) coming over the backstop? Maybe you should watch your kid play, instead of playing Sudoku on your BlackBerry. You're at a ball diamond...keep your eyes on the ball. A sign of the times, perhaps. Protecting people from themselves. Whatever happened to a fan snagging a souvenir foul ball at the ol' ball game?
Rant...well, more of just an observation. Check out the guy sporting the Tino Martinez/Cardinals shirt. Tino freakin' Martinez? You have nothing else in your closet?! I bet your kid is embarrassed to be seen with you (ok, maybe this is a rant). Seriously, do we need a reminder of the infamous "Tino Experiment"? Remember the wicked long slumps ol' Tino went through? Looked like he was going to squeeze the bat into sawdust up at the plate. Can't this guy grab a Luddy or Albert shirt at the local Wal-Mart?
Done. Much better :)
