When I was a mid-teen working at Maple Leaf Stadium putting up scores and lighting fireworks for the home-team, we had a major hail storm one afternoon that only lasted about 10 minutes. When it was over, Eddie and I left the scoreboard while the infield crew was cleaning up, and played catch with the hailstones.
