BASEBALL! It’s a hot day in the ballpark–you can see the hot dog and soda
pop vendors making their way up and down the bleachers. The crowd roars after
each pitch, and filling the stadium is the sound of “STEERIKE! YOU’RE OUT!”
Down on the field it’s a different story–just you and the pitcher facing each
other in an enormous diamond of brown and green.
The roar of the spectators fades into the distance as the pitcher winds up.
His arm arches back, his leg goes up, and…THUNK! The ball flashes by and
hits the catcher’s glove at 90 miles an hour. “STEERIKE!” Another windup,
another 90 mile an hour fastball, and “STEERIKE TWO!” Gripping the bat
tightly, you stare down at the pitcher, see him wind up, and watch as the ball
seems to float in slow motion down the field toward you. Everything falls
into place as you swing with perfect timing, feel the contact, and see the
ball sail over the right fielders outstretched glove and over the wall. HOME
RUN!
