A Sign of the Times

Been watching a lot of baseball and softball, little league time of the year, great stuff.

The other evening the Team from Arizona was playing Panama or Mexico or someone. The Panama coach called for a meeting on the mound, the  team congregated and they had the coach wired for sound so we could hear his instructions, but they were in Spanish, so I didn't understand any of it.

Next inning, the Arizona pitcher allowed a couple of hits and his manager called a timeout and headed for a meeting on the mound. The Arizona coach was also wired for sound. He talked with his players, also in Spanish, and then English .... many were apparently all from Mexico. Happened with a team from Californria also.

That's the USA for you .................
