A Star is Born.
Yesterday, while working a shift at the Park Slope Food Coop, a neighborhood mother shared an anecdote about her mediocre-at-best athlete son, whose final year in Little League has him warming the bench, much to both his horror and surprise. A local sports culture that apparently nurtures even the worst baseball players well into their sports career, Brooklyn's budding stars have little sense of how far from the final bloom they actually are. The (young) mother laughed off her requisite weekly pep talks during which she explains (to her son) that he's just not that good, while compensating for his bench-time with after-hours family games where his stardom dictates the plays. Enjoy!
