On off-days we’d tap Dad on the shoulder and head to the empty playground behind our house for infield work and a game of catch, a request he couldn’t help but oblige. (Batting practice was sadly off-limits, due to the number of very fragile windows in the very near vicinity.) We must have worn his shoulder out, demanding ever higher pop-flies to field and harder ground balls to retrieve as the sunlight slowly...
