7:30 game on a school night against last years championship team. 0-7 with two outs in the bottom of the second. Runner feeling stranded on third. Whitaker up to bat. Strike one. Strike two. His father is dying a horrible death in the stands. Pitch high. W leans back, swings. Crack. The ball leaps up, up into a gorgeous night-blue sky. All of us in the stands are struck dumb. The ball makes a perfect parabola, arcing over the left fielders head. W runs to second, drives runner at third home, then advances to third due to interference by first baseman. Dugout goes nuts, which is nothing compared to what his father is doing in the stands. Starts a rally of great hitting and pitching by his teammates. The final score? 9-9. Whitaker took a game ball. Ill happily take the tie.
