Friday 5: Baseball Sounds

Yesterday had a lot of what used to be America's game, baseball. Listened to the Cubs Game. Watched a T-ball game. Played Softball. Here's 5 sounds I love as a part of Baseball.

  1. The crack of the bat - When I hear it, it's not just in my ears; I hear it in my soul.
  2. The called strike - Every Ump does it in a different way.
  3. "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" - Especially at Wrigley Field and when my 3 year old neice sings it.
  4. The cheering crowd - Whether it's a packed mlb stadium, a bunch of parents, or the team on the bench, it's a moment where you catch that this is a "together" moment. I like being a part of something bigger than myself.
  5. The Ball snapping into the Glove - Can you hear it as you read that? I can.
My dad taught me how to bat, how to throw, and how to catch. The game is bigger than a game. I think I love it more than ever.
