Chapter 21: Delilah Falls
They gave my son Scott's marrow on a Tuesday, in a bag the size of a juice box.
It took forty minutes.
Jamie watched it drip and asked if it was supposed to look so boring.
Scott, in the chair beside him with a bandage on his hip, said that boring was the best news in the world.
The district attorney moved on Thursday.
Scott's lawyer called me at eight in the morning.
"Come to the stadium," she said. "Front plaza. Bring Marge."
The Herons' offices stood at the end of a long brick plaza, with the team logo set in the stone and a flight of wide steps leading up to the glass doors.
At nine the plaza was full.
Cameras, reporters, ballplayers in jackets, groundskeepers in green, the lunch counter women in their aprons.
The whole building had come out.
Marge took my arm.
"I wouldn't miss this," she said, "if you paid me in pie."
