Frabjous Times

My Knights of Columbus Council went off to see some professional baseball yesterday, featuring neither the Yankess nor the Mets. We spent an afternoon watching the New Jersey Jackals have the tar beat out of them by the Brockton (MA) Rox, 13-2 The visitors put together two five-run innings to put them away. The fans engaged in some old-fashioned umpire-baiting after a close call at the plate around the seventh inning or so, not that it really tipped the balance against the home team or anything. Still, the seven-year-old and under set had not had their spirits dampened, as we were all treated on the bone-jarring bus ride back to Cresskill to a dozen or so renditions of Take Me Out to the Ballgame.
