I called Clare
at work yesterday afternoon to play a little game of Guess Who, as in “Guess
who the White Sox just released?” With
the slightest of hints (“I may be more excited about it than you”), she got it
on the first try, “Brett Lawrie.” So,
goodbye, Mr. Fang Mouth-guard. Here’s
hoping everything gets “aligned” before you run out of teams willing to take a
chance on a player who marches to the beat of an awfully strange drum.
While we were
talking, Clare let me know she thought I was all wrong about players being
musclebound. My daughter explained how
baseball is an “explosive” sport where players need “dynamic” muscles to rise
to the sudden occasion. Or was it a
dynamic sport and explosive muscles?
Anyway, I’m just happy Clare actually went to class and paid
attention. Of course, she’ll never know
as much as her old man, but who does?
