Weekly Kodachrome - The Pitcher

Pin It “The pitcher is the most important player on the field, and on his skills and judgement depends half the battle in a match.”

- Henry Chadwick

Standing alone on the mound
The ball is cradled in my hand
My mitt - with its smell of worn leather
It fills my nostrils with memory
The batter approaches
He stands at home plate
A look of determination fills his eyes
The thrill of the game pulses inside me
I lean back on one leg
The ball is fired from my hand
Like a rocket, it speeds onward
I hear the swoosh of the bat
It cuts the empty air

One.
         Two.
                  Three strikes.

My dad calls my name from the stands.
I pause, wave, and smile.

Baseball.
