...Middlesex Superior Court judge ruled in May that DiGiovanni could not proceed with his plans to build a concrete and glass structure on the sidewalk where the push-carts are located. He said such a structure would impede pedestrian traffic...

Tygiel's effort wasn't pretentious, because it was grounded in a proper respect for and devotion to the game irrespective of its broader relevance; but, in reaching higher, it offered a broader statement...
