Whether catching or hitting Eli brings a fierce intensity to this game. Always focused, always ready to get a batter out. He throws off his helmet and flips his mane out of his eyes looking closely at where the play is. Throwing to second or playing pickle with the runner he's there playing for his team. As the batter he plays pickle with the other catcher. Challenging and daring. His favorite game within the game. Go Buster!
Baseball season. Opening day. Take me out to the ball field being practiced on the piano and sung out on the field. Every player goes out on the field from t-ball players to majors. Some running, barely making it over their own feet, while others have such determination and their eyes on pro-ball. All high fiving the others. All of them, ready to play some ball!
