One swing
changed everything.
Self-narrated scenario of
backyard wiffle ball games,
sandlot games, video games,
baseball dreamers from
coast to coast.
World Series.
Game one.
Ninth inning.
One out.
Fearless, nigh-unhittable
Reliever.
The weight of the hometown crowd
on your shoulders —
the same crowd who desperately tried
to
will
you
90 feet farther
one year prior.
One swing
changed everything.
You touched first base
one finger
pointed to heaven.
