So last night we went to see our local Tucson Padres play the Albuquerque Isotopes. It was a perfect night with temps in the low 80s and when field action was slow, we watched the nighthawks dogfight with the moths who were attracted to the stadium lights. The game was opened by a rep of the MDA and a PALS in a wheelchair with a bi-pap. The occasion was to recognize ALS Awareness Month. The PALS, diagnosed in 1998, threw the first pitch and it was ruled a strike.
The relaxed mood that ball games instill is perfect for contemplating the vagaries of the human condition. As I watched a lanky Batboy fetch an errant bat, I wondered, does a Batboy aspire to grow up to be a Batman.
