The story of Batting Helmet Sundae
The ballgame was fine, but the real prize was the sundae in a miniature batting helmet. Vanilla soft serve, chocolate syrup, rainbow sprinkles and a flat wooden spoon that splintered by the third bite. Afterward you rinsed the helmet at the drinking fountain and kept it on the shelf next to your trophies for years.
Some kids collected a helmet in every team color, stacking them into wobbly towers on their dressers.
