    Hrm... I've never gotten really big into baseball as some of my friends are. Maybe I'll talk to them and maybe see if they could write a poem. lol or give me some ideas. Great idea, though, Mom! I hope you get a lot of great entries and such. Good luck with judging to both of you as well.

    Sandy thanks for the honorable mention & the points. I spend more time at little league fields than big league fields,and have had opportunity to contemplate the most lonely place on the face of the earth which is the baseball field in winter. Thanks again

    Thank you both very much for the trophy and prize. I wrote this a few years ago for my dear friend who introduced me to real baseball and has since turned me into quite the fan. It was a fun contest! Thanks again.
