Bohm Catching A Stray From A Child
I grew up in the philadelphia area but relocated well away from the city a couple decades ago. My son started t-ball this year, and I found out early on that his coach and the coach’s son (also on the team) are also Delco transplants and big phillies fans. I was helping out at practice the other day and the coach’s son was told to “play third.” Because 5/6 year olds are extremely literal, he trotted over and perched himself directly atop the bag. Like, standing on it with both feet.
I gently re-positioned him and when he looked a little unsure I took a shot and told him, “trust me. this is where bohm stands when he plays third.” He thinks about that for a second, then looks even more doubtful and tells me all solemn-like, “but my dad always says bohm isn’t good.”
