About the B'nai Bagels
“Dad’s strategy paid off; Mom’s nagging paid off; Spencer helped; and the Our Lady of Mercy catcher helped, too. The Our Lady of Mercy catcher couldn’t. Our team stole home three times. Once on a wild pitch, and the other two times on normal mistakes. And in Little League mistakes are normal especially during the first game of the season. The score was 7–2. We would have had one more run if I hadn’t watched to see where the ball was going; it was two outs when Barry hit the ball. I was on second... at the time, and I should have begun running immediately, but I waited to see whether the ball would land on the ground or in a glove. They were so slow fielding that I could have made it home if I hadn’t waited. It cost us a run, but it didn’t cost us the game. And I guess I called my attention to it louder than Mother or Spencer did. As we left the field, Spencer said, “Let’s run on those long flies with two outs.
