The Adventures of Captain Imperfecto

You are here: Home » Rounding First September 06th, 2012 Instead of teasing myself by rounding first and only going half way to the island that’s nestled between first and third on my baseball diamond, today’s my day I get to second base. I don’t want to return to the safety of first base.   I’ve been there done that. I need to have a stand up double. The crack of the bat drowns out the crowd as the ball launches out to center field. I run up the first baseline watching the ball disappear in the lights of the stadium. The white ball becoming engulfed in the white lights of the burning clandestine heat, emanating from the candlepower of the large steal structures that house the bulbs. The crowd roars with excitement. The sound from the bat gives them the false hope that I may have hit it out of the ballpark.
