LOL. I love your nickname, Bony Ass. I am wondering if you kept that name through life. It is a great entry for the contest, good luck. Thank you for entering; exceptional work. Terry.

This is a good story. There are few more edits needed. I suggest looking it over before the voting.

notes:

the Catholic League.

- suggest a paragraph break here-

Coach K called

Coach K called to us from the gray steps of the park field house, "All of you guys come over here.["] The team gathered on the field house steps.

- add

The following Monday at 1:00 PM, we got up and walked out of classes (â?" )to the cheers

-remove

rounding third and hearing the coach yelling "Get your boney ass moving!"

- rounding third and hearing the coach yelling, "Get your boney ass moving!"

A 6 star poem, but ran out of
6 stars yesterday. Wondrous
and beautifully nostalgic
write on your high school
baseball experiences. Two of
a list of my favorite sports
movies is, "Field of Dreams,"
and, "A League Of Their Own."
I really enjoyed reading this
story. My very best wishes
for the contest. Blessings ~

Perhaps because I played baseball all four years of high school and usually rode the bench like your Speaker, I was able toy live this story vicariously. You do a splendid job of setting the scene and getting us quickly into the game. Your description of your time at bat and that "bony ass" romp to home plate was exciting. Just enough description of the 9th inning to give us an exciting finish. I thoroughly enjoyed this narrative which was well-crafted. Rod

    Thank you so much for taking the time to read and provide an encouraging response. I actually got a sliver in my finger from one bench at a park district diamond in Chicago.

I am truly sick for a six star rating to give! This is marvelous writing and took me to the field and you rounding third to home. A contest winner in my eyes, mystery writer.

Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for the upcoming contest,
Sally Law :))
