Others said that the dads had voted and I was out. None of that was true. It was actually the superintendent who told me that a principal had more important things to do. I've wondered about that ever since. Mike Piazza for you young ones.
Baseball catchers are definitely a different breed.
Pitchers are prima donnas, who look good and play every fourth day or so. Center fielders run fast and stand around a lot. Catchers play every day. They get dirty every day. They guard home plate with no regard for their own body.
