Poor El is clearly having a bad time, but he seems the kind who will make the best of things and make lemonade when life gives him lemons. Let's hope he gets lots of lemons soon!

How distant memory sometimes haunts to gallop with the current memories, sportingly and naturally, is well placed, said and done, I enjoyed the read of this work.

Great job with this one. You create a clear emotional response to the caring mother who doesn't really know sports to the athletic father who refuses to acknowledge his son's talents. Hoping that El will surprise the pitcher!

Comment from Alex Rosel
This provided a pleasant read. I hope to catch the following post {smiles}.
Here are a few points you might like to consider:
His sister, who just began kindergarten, needed more attention than what his father could provide her -- If this was mine, I'd delete the "what". It reads better without it.
When El was able to practic -- Spag? I think you mean "practice" and not "practic".
pieces of binder paper that he crumbled and taped together to form a very crude sphere -- I like the imagery here {smiles}.
Besides, though awkward as it was to use a softball bat for baseball games -- I'd omit the "though". It'll make the sentence less awkward to read.
The fact he was almost legal to drink alcohol seemed to emit an aura of invincibility to the rest of the players. -- I like this. It's indicative of typical teenager reasoning {smiles}.

Comment from Iza Deleanu
Interesting development oft your main character. This part made me laugh:"
On the other hand, Eu El spent his developmental years perfecting the art and science of babysitting. This was at his father's request. His sister, who just began kindergarten, needed more attention than what his father could provide her between every televised inning of a Boston Red Sox game, or the amount of money he threw away to the relatives in East Asia. His father did have a plan for the future, but it did not include El."
Thank you for sharing
