I remember being a bit confused. “You wouldn’t go outside after taking a dump without wiping your ass, would ya?” Oh, the poetic musings of my late, great, crazy Uncle. God rest his soul. He was answering the question from his nine-year old nephew. He had been staying with us for a while after getting […]
It was the bottom of the 7th. Playoffs. Winner advances to the championship game. And since we only played 7 innings in 13-14 pony league, the tension was high.
