BIBLIOASIS
.....
Watching the umps gear up in the parking lot, I count five fans here. Me, Dale, and two very prepared people, parents I assume, and a chocolate lab named Bella. The parents have brought their own chairs, blankets, coolers, and umbrellas, and the woman has a scorecard. Waiting for the game to start, I watch fallen leaves gamboling around the chain-link fences in gusting winds. Bella rustles in the nearby underbrush looking for her ball. It starts to rain, gently but persistently. The third base coach says to us, “We should have played at 9 am. It was warmer.” There’s not a sprig of green grass or hint of a leaf bud to be found, no signs of spring birds. If you’d plunked me into this day at random and made me guess what time of year it was, I’d say early November.
We’re sitting so close to the field that I can hear the left fielder singing to himself with his ball glove resting on his head. I watch the players attempting to replicate the gum chewing and swagger of MLB pros. Some do it with aplomb.
