When members of the Youth First Texas softball team play in their Pegasus league games against their (generally) older, it isn’t just arthritis and 401(k)s that they have been missing — it’s been uniforms.
“They were literally playing in white jerseys with electrical tape put on to create numbers,” Jonathan Palant, the artistic director of the Turtle Creek Chorale, told me.
Members of the chorale didn’t like that, so they raised some money and have bought YFT some high-quality jerseys and equipment for the young people. There will be a presentation ceremony tomorrow, May 8, at 7:30 p.m. at the Youth First Texas offices.
Anything Jonathan Palant is behind, i am on top of! Did that sound nasty?
