When Pete and Dad go to an event, they are often the last ones to leave. They help every one clean up, then hang out for a while doing nothing or just looking around for more things to do. Dad has many fond memories of time spent at such events.
One of the best was Pete’s last baseball game a few weeks ago at Newton-Lee. It was an evening on the last day of a heat wave – the heat index was in the 90-100 range, and humid. Mom and Sam had left the game earlier. Pete’s teammates and coaches finished their post-game snack, packed everything up, and headed home. Everyone was sweaty and exhausted. Dad asked coach if they could keep one ball. Dad and Pete stayed on the deserted field and played another 30 minutes of one-on-one baseball. The rule was that every hit was either an out or a home run.
