Throwing a Curve.

“Sleeves is what we called them. They were plain and ordinary, nothing to think about twice. (Or so I thought.) But now I realize they were unduplicatable.

I still have mine, and a few emotions, dating from my days in professional baseball.
When we wore our sleeves, it was always the best time of the year. We were beginning to feel up.

I laugh at the imitations today. They have pseudo-names like river shirts, punting jerseys, Henley pullovers.

Sleeves are, were, and always will be comfortable and engaging to wear; lightweight; warm, not hot; not itchy, not sticky, not fussy. Sleeves are good-looking in the way things are when they arent trying to be good-looking.

And you still dont have to play professional baseball to get one.
