> Boston Sunday Globe: "Senior" moments

Over-55 athletes play with heart, grit, aches
By Sam Allis, Globe Columnist | May 13, 2007

If you want to watch Atlantic League teams play double-headers on Tuesday mornings, look for American Legion Post 18 across the street, the one with the ancient tank named Delores out front and a sign beneath the American Legion board that reads "Grapes of Wrath Landscaping."

"WINNING GESTURE"
Coming home from the store one morning, I stopped for a procession
leaving the local funeral home. As the cars went by, they passed the
softball field, where some older men were playing. The game stopped, and
the men turned toward the hearse, removed their caps, and covered their
hearts. One of the umpires stopped traffic at the cross street so the
cortege could remain together. The players stayed that way until the
proccesion had passed. I had a tear in my eye.
