Here’s the pitch…
Here’s the swing…
Bat connects with ball…
Crack!
The crowd murmurs louder…
1…
2…
The ball soars over the fence
Murmurs convert to eruption…
The crowd roars!
Can you hear it?
Of course you can!
A wall of cheers!
A solid immovable cluster of elation!
As if all it took was the roar of a crowd to drown out the noise of life!
