PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. — From the 5-at-10 satellite office here on the panhandle, where the riptide is for real and the populace at this fastpitch make me look like a born-and-bred NYC attorney by comparison.

At the youth softball world series — ages from 8u to 16u with teams from California to Carolina and back again — I saw a lady wearing a tank top that said, “Let’s keep the dumb(f-word)ery to a minimum.” It was at least written in cursive, so it’s doubtful many of the younger girls could read it.

You stay classy, San Diego.
