Elizabeth Zarzour tried to sit in the bleachers on this perfect spring afternoon in Florida, but she was just too antsy.
“Why did they have to schedule this dumb game?” she asked her husband, Phillip. “This is killing me.”
“Relax hon. It’s just Spring Training,” Phillip responded with a smile.
“Yeah, but no one else in this crowd has to watch their sons compete against each other,” Elizabeth continued. “This is gut-wrenching. What do I do? Who do I cheer for? They were always on the same team in Little League or competed in different divisions. Now this. I wasn‘t even sure what to wear today. Hmmph.”
“Just relax, Liz. Your have boys wearing Yankee pinstripes and Phillies’ colors. Most moms and dads in the world would die to be able to say that. Plus, again it‘s only Spring Training. And Andrew will probably only face Timmy once or twice before they pull him out. Let‘s root for them both to do their best, just like Little League.”
AUTHOR’S NOTE: I couldn’t resist. When I saw the Phillies and Yankees both had the same day off in Spring Training scheduling, I had to add a game between the two teams so big brother Andrew could have at least one chance to pitch to little brother Timmy in their careers.
I’ll have to intervene a bit to make sure Timmy plays in the game but hey, it is Spring Training … Wonder if Timmy can get a hit off his big brother? Stay tuned.
