If you want to understand the differences between Massachusetts’ senior and junior senators, you could watch them play softball.

The lanky Sen. Kerry, in suit shirt and pants, grounds out and doesn’t even run for first base. Sen. Brown, on the other hand, comes dressed to play with the number 41 on his jersey. (Get it?) Brown hits kind of puny-like — I mean the guy is a triathlete — but at least he puts in some real effort to getting to first.

Brown’s team ultimately prevailed 11-6, the Globe reports.

WBUR’s Dave Shaw, providing play-by-play as he watches over my shoulder, remarks: “That’s sort of a low-scoring softball game, to be honest with you.”
