For the past several days I've been helping to care for my mom in Indiana. (She broke her femur when her rambunctious dogs bowled her over) Now playing: Fox News on TV, barking dogs, & some kinda woo-woo shit on her iPad about "healing benefits" of structured water.
They broke out this for my visit

I was a runty 9 yo catcher on my city league (1974) and routinely got mowed down behind the plate by large 15 yo girls.

(The league included girls ages 8-15 b/c there weren't yet enough players to field age divisions.)
