1 Every spring the softball field became his favorite destination, and he had taken his son, Arnie, there when he was small to teach him how to pitch. 2 He walked home, as usual, through the park and, as usual, passed by the softball field. 3 This memory made him feel sad and guilty. 4 Arnie hadn’t been in the least interested in softball, and so after two or three lessons, he had given up the idea.
