Speaking of modified t-ball <shameless plug for my last post> I can’t help mentioning something else. There are a fairly large number of families, just like our own, that moved to this area from somewhere else. In the communities that share our little league boundaries (a little different from the school districts…most of the kids in our league are actually in a different school system) there happen to be a lot of transplants from Long Island and/or the Bronx. So I hear a semi-familiar…accent quite a bit.
Now I’m not saying this as a value judgement or anything. I’m not trying to imply some sense of superiority (or inferiority for that matter). It is really just and observation. But every once in a while when one of the 6 year olds crowds the baseline and a runner knocks him or her over…let’s just say I wouldn’t be surprised to see some Bronx accident attorneywith bad home made commercials on Cablevision showing up with a camera, a cast and a contract.
