Not long after we began this enterprise at O, by the Way, I was out of commission for a day with a softball injury that was the result of my own clumsiness while playing for The Sun's softball team.  Well, with little fanfare that season plodded on and yesterday, The Sun team scrapped its way to the mixed softball slow-pitch title in a Catonsville church league.  In the championship game, the Muckrakers (obviously pictured here) came back from nine-run deficits twice.  The final was 19-18 -- clearly, softball as it should be.  But it also said something about perseverance, which is one more lesson we can all take from the Orioles' No. 8.  Thanks, for your indulgence.
