ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA — A middle-aged white woman with nothing better to do ruined the night of dozens of hardworking Americans blowing off steam and getting some exercise at Virginia Highlands Park Tuesday night.
Around 8 p.m., the woman, donning the vintage yellow “official” top of an automaton given a smidge of fake power and ready to wield it, approached the softball fields at the park where two critical postseason-impacting games were taking place. “These fields closed at 6:30, you shouldn’t even be here,” she bellowed, while pointing at some sort of Arlington County Parks Department notice on her phone.
The weather was around 80 degrees and sunny. A brief rain shower had passed through around 6:30, leaving the field mildly dampened but sufficiently dry by the time she arrived. Both games had been ongoing for over an hour with no issue.
