To Little League Opening Day yesterday, where LCA and her cohorts from City Honors Chorale sang the anthem. Holy crow they make a big deal out of this: hundreds of Little Leaguers march down Hertel Avenue to Shoshone Park, escorted by a fire engine. The Mayor was there, and four city council members and a judge and Sam Hoyt, who should probably have been in Albany working on the budget. Come to think of it, all of the politicians could have been spending their time more productively. They each got to say a few words to the group, and most of them said a few too many. Folks, nobody was there to hear you. The mayor got the first pitch over the plate, always a pressure filled moment.Thence to OTB, where I played Super Saver, Looking At Lucky and Schoolyard Dreams. I'd looked at Jackson Bend, but First Dude was never on my radar.
