The Middletons by Dana Summers for July 18, 2021

Could I get some ‘back up’ here?

I remember the umpire telling me to just stay there, he would go get the ball.

I, too, used to play catcher in softball. I could squat way down and pop right up to catch that occasional back popup. Now, I can still get into squats, but it takes a while to get up.

For me, the squat is a brief, interim position.

Don’t do any sport with your kid, or anybody else for that matter, that you can’t really do anymore….

Might be time to hang up the mitt and become a spectator.

Don’t just stand there staring, Wilson, help the poor man up!
