How do you know when you’re old? For me, it happened shortly after turning 70, at the Scarsdale, N.Y., recreation field where a group of us play a weekly Sunday pickup softball game. I oiled my glove, threaded new laces into my cleats. I couldn’t wait to take the field. Though the National Institute on Aging maintains that, “exercise has proven benefits for older people,” the 2019 season had been rough on me.
