Overheard on the R Street Starbucks patio this afternoon as I knit and Rudi read his Nick Hornby novel:
Girl: I was reading this really interesting piece on Jackie Robinson. I didn’t expect to find it interesting but I did. . . . Which team did he play for?
Guy: I don’t know.
Me (aside, to my knitting): The Brooklyn Dodgers
Girl (pullling out the Time Magazine that included the article and flipping to Jackie’s picture): Can you tell by looking at his uniform?
Guy (seeing the B on Jackie’s hat): Boston.
Me:
Girl: Ah. Thanks!
I had to google image search the two teams caps. I wouldn’t be able to tell them apart if the two were next to one another, even if the Red Sox cap had red lettering.
