Transcript:
Man: You look familiar. Ralph: Yeah, I know you guys from somewhere! Man: Did your son play in little league about ten years ago? Ralph: He sure did! Man: Yeah! He played catcher for the mudhens! Ralph: And your son played for the sharks! Man: Those were fun times! Ralph: They sure were! Man: Except for when the parents got a little too intense. Ralph: You can say that again! Man: Remember that play at the plate where my son was called out, but he was really safe because your son missed the tag? Ralph: The parents went nuts! But I had a perfect view. Your son was out by a mile! Man: He was safe!! Ralph: Out!! Norman: Do you remember any of this? Boy: Nope.
No, I’m afraid I don’t. All I remember of that game is that we had to come from behind to win it and that the calls from some of the dads directed at my dad were quite insistent.
