Sportswriter's Rant

Why is it that people who know what I do for a living -- cover a minor-league baseball team all summer -- continually act surprised to hear I work nights.
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A BASEBALL GAME? WHAT TIME DO THEY PLAY MOST OF THEIR GAMES?
Because it's the minors and not the Yankees, you think I work 9-5 like everyone else?
Yeah, they start their games at 9 with no fans in the park just so that I get an hour lunch break at 12 and cups of coffee every 20 minutes.
