The noon day sun beat down on the red clay infield at Harry Harris Park. Runners on first
and second squinted from the glare as they watched the pitcher's mound for the
opportunity to run. Advise for the runners as well as the batter was screamed and from
the stands of spectators. Adding to the din of noise was the chant of the infield and
outfield, "Hey, batter, batter!" The smell of popcorn and barbeque permeated the air.
Water bottles emptied as players sought to stay hydrated from the suffocating source of
heat that surrounded them. The ball field was alive with action!
The midnight moon lazily lit the ball field. The red infield clay reflected a rusty tone
lightening ever so slightly at the pitcher's mound. The moon light on bases lit up their
lonely abandoned positions. Dew on the grass of the outfield announced the outer limits
of the game area. Silver spectatorsstands invited the moon light to bathe them. All was
still, stationary, secluded. The night blooming jasmine mixed with the salty sea breeze
and perfumed the air. Still all was so spectacularly serene. Yet, pause, listen
carefully, this is the place where hopes and dreams can be heard.
