Only there were no baseballs involved. Pretending that a curve had dipped into the dirt, then lunging to keep a phantom throw from becoming a phantom wild pitch. A unique sport. Baseball locker rooms are different from those in football, basketball or hockey. They are roomier.
Players spend many more hours there.
Mostly, they lounge around in underpants, T-shirts and long white sanitary hose. Three guys were getting arm rubs in an adjacent medical room. A few more were seated at a long table, reading Sunday newspapers. For now, there was no obnoxiously loud music in the clubhouse. That unfortunately will come.
