Cooperstown Baseball

Cooperstown
Game Two

I say goodbye to our first Cooperstown game day as the sweet cooling breezes of the evening allow me pause. The pink tinged skies of the setting sun against the endless greens of the forest, connect me to the beauty that is baseball.

Game 2 proved to be a challenge. The thick, warm air somehow provided buoyancy for the pitching; the red dirt with its sticky, denseness slowed our sliding; the 200-foot fields practically taunted the batters to breach them nonetheless our Fire boys came together.
I see them learning each other’s ways: high-fiving the homerun-ers of both sides and encouraging the struggling…Living outside of themselves on this journey to become true champions. Win or lose, this is the real prize.
