There's nothing like the sound of a little league ball park. From the dugout chants to the ping of the bat on ball or the heavy smack of a glove making a catch, nothing quite compares to kids playing America's pastime. It's the true innocence of the game on display, it's the real effort to win as a team. Its kids being kids.Though America's game is at its best in the Little Leagues, it is also at its most tragic. There's nothing like losing when your heart is all in. There's nothing like failure when the game is on the line. But what if winning and losing didn't matter?What if it's a bully getting what he deserves? What if it's an old ballpark where dreams were once lived out, but now no one plays on? What if it's a bad pitch or a base not stolen? Or what if it's just a run short of glory? What if it's the memory of a game many years in the past? What if it's lost innocence?(Disclaimer: this is not your typical baseball book. This is a fiction collection of poems and short stories. Most of the stories are darker in nature.)
