I‘m pretty sure I caught the bug during the game between the Richmond Hill Men’s SIG-Pitch Intermediate girls_ arid Record Shop. What a lousy way to treat a person who, in the call of duty, wandered down to the Town Park to watch the Richmond Hill Minor Ball playoffs on a sunny but wind- chilled afternoon.
