I decided to keep them both. I wouldn’t have been satisfied with either a nuclear winter or a continued pandemic. In all, I kept 18 players on the team. When I say that number to most people, their eyes usually glaze over, but I’m not too nervous: I’ve played on two teams with that many, and I had fun both years. So long as the on-court hormone concentration doesn’t exceed the legal limit, we’ll be fine; though I suppose there aren’t any guarantees with that many adolescents packed into an 85x45 rectangle.
