Think
of Valparaiso Indiana as Buffalo New York West.
When the winter wind blows off Lake Michigan, it snows to the point of
human despair. Yesterday, we had sun all
day in beautiful Berwyn, but Valparaiso, 75 minutes away in good traffic, was
under a blizzard warning. Not that Clare
really cared.
No,
the de facto graduate assistant for Valparaiso softball is now official,
picture on the website and everything (with bio to come). When the team found out, the players started
chanting “Coach Clare, Coach Clare,” and the girl in question loved it. Her first official job was to look at some
pitching tapes. “I want to be able to
say it’s more than her release point if there’s a problem.” Of course, having Elmhurst College’s all-time
homerun hitter study pitching is a little like Ronald Reagan reading the
Communist Manifesto. What will anyone
get out of it?
