The kid and the baseball II

It’s Friday and Friday is for not being depressed about the news. These days, that means ignoring the news, a tough task for someone who’s paid to write about the news.

And now here’s sports….

According to Huffington Post

This has been a good week for stories about kids and baseball that make you forget about a world of jerks.

Pass it on, kid.
