“Gray hairs were sprouting.”
Pirates 12
Yankees 9
Report: Gray hairs were sprouting. The correlations are obvious. If they tested the gray hair count amongst Mosquito coaches over the years, undeniably the month of greatest sproutage would be in May. And why you ask? Well, of course you know that in May, the players are now able to steal home. This simple little rule change leads to a plethora of base running follies and foibles that test the will and patience of even the saintliest of coaches. Good thing kids learn fast as the shelves are running bare for hair coloring! The pirates eked out a win on Tuesday night over the Yankees. Game highlights include hair pulling, dirt kicking and incessant mumbling – all by the coaches.
