BASEBALL! It's a hot day in the ballpark--you can see the hot dog and soda

pop vendors making their way up and down the bleachers. The crowd roars after

each pitch, and filling the stadium is the sound of "STEERIKE! YOU'RE OUT!"

Down on the field it's a different story--just you and the pitcher facing each

other in an enormous diamond of brown and green.

The roar of the spectators fades into the distance as the pitcher winds up.

His arm arches back, his leg goes up, and...THUNK! The ball flashes by and

hits the catcher's glove at 90 miles an hour. "STEERIKE!" Another windup,

another 90 mile an hour fastball, and "STEERIKE TWO!" Gripping the bat

tightly, you stare down at the pitcher, see him wind up, and watch as the ball

seems to float in slow motion down the field toward you. Everything falls

into place as you swing with perfect timing, feel the contact, and see the

ball sail over the right fielders outstretched glove and over the wall. HOME

RUN!
