ABOVE: Jack Singer, 12, Billy Schreiber, 11, and Stephen Torrellas, 12, line up for the Pledge of Allegiance during the opening day ceremonies for the Stamford American Little League on Sunday.
5/3/2009
Given the bleak, damp weather it seemed unlikely that this Sunday I would be both consumed by Colson Whitehead’s new summer novel, Sag Harbor, and tasked with recording the events of a Little League’s opening day.
But as the rain continued unabated so did the familiar rituals; the color guard, the pledge, the first pitch, the blowing of bubblegum.
Play ball.

Great pics; love the lime green grass with red uniform.
I had no idea Colson Whitehead was so goodlooking! The book sounds interesting.
