A kids' baseball game under the lights on a spring-time Saturday night is a beautiful thing.
Until!
Until a brand new umpire makes multiple bad calls.
Until the crowd erupts in protest.
Until a kid gets hurt on the field.
Until an ambulance shows up.
Until a neighbor won't let the ambulance cut through her backyard (field) to get to the kid.
Until a coach (a state trooper) talks to the neighbor.
Until the kid is loaded up and taken away.
Until the same neighbor screams at the ambulance as it drives away.
Until we don't get home until 11 p.m. because of delay of game.
