First Time Around

A smile on her face and a gleam in her eye, zeal gets her on first. W A T C H Next play, pure luck pitcher overthrows second. She's half-way round. F O C U S Third batter bunts; out number one at first, She makes it to third. G L E A M Sacrifice fly ball she heads for home. Ump bellows, "Safe!" S M I L E April 4, 2020 Quote # 3: "A smile on her face and a gleam in her eye" - From the poem 'Batter Up' by Eve Roper contest: Poetic lines from a Poetry Soup Poet, Eve Roper sponsor: Silent One

Thanks, Eve. Twas a good line and could be used in a thousand different scenarios. Baseball is one of the few sports I understand at all. My son played for years.
