Baseball is a serious sport, regardless of age, and while the glove gets proportionally smaller as players advance and the hat sits on the head rather than the ears, the look never changes. There is always an elbow band ready to absorb any career ending shock, but it's that side glance under the brim that stirs up fear in every batter. The stance before the final strike ball is thrown. Whiiissshhh the ball goes from pitcher to catcher faster than a speeding bullet and the game is over.
It's time for the high-five "good game" line up and then on to the next phase that they have all been waiting for - cookies, popsicles, Ritas, McDonalds, or around here, Rich's Ice Cream. You know the drill, because the whole team arrives just before you do on any hot summer day.
