For the Love of Baseball

Why would a kid endure the dust,
the heat,
giving up birthday parties and outings with friends
in exchange for hours and hours and hours of practice,
the sting of defeat in a championship game,
the personal agony of a strike out,
taking a nasty one to the eye
WHY?

I'll tell you why.
Because once in a while a moment comes along that is so thrilling, so joyful, so sweet that you can actually taste it.
A moment like smashing the ball for a triple with the game winning RBI.

All for the love of baseball.
Congratulations Linc.
