I stand, defending home plate. Everything I have depends on how - TopicsExpress



          

I stand, defending home plate. Everything I have depends on how well I dig in. How well I practiced. How well you made me learn. And you will throw with all your heart and mind and power and guile. But it is no game. You know what I protect. You force me to stand and face you. You force me to learn. I disdain Casey’s pride. He had nothing, really, to lose. But I may not fail. So much depends on getting this right. This is no game we play. It is no game at all. It is how we challenge each other to be. The time out is over. We both smile. I will get this right. I must not watch your stance. I must not be distracted by your wind up, your wrist, or even the stitches on the ball. Beyond metaphor, I know where the truth is. I will watch your eyes.
