Take Me Out To the Ballgame On a sweltering, blistery Saturday afternoon, I squint my eyes as I take my stance in the batter’s box and gaze out into the field in front of me. Second base is joking around with the umpire in the field amongst jeers from the shortstop of, “You ain’t got nuthin’, batter”, while center field repeatedly pounds a fist in his glove as if he just can’t wait to get some action. I grin, all the while thinking of how I would just like to make someone eat a nice, hard hit. Each of these personal traits of athletes combined as a whole into a team is what brings out the fun, competitiveness, and love of the game in softball.
