baseball


Shot in Southern Cal with my Polaroid 680-

I played baseball for ten years. For the first few years we had practice every Wednesday at a park just like this one. Actually, it was more like a greenbelt than anything. Our practice field was under the power lines. During batting practice our main goal wasn't to hit screaming line drives over the shortstops head; it was to see if we could hit the power lines. We were young and scrawny back then, except for one kid who was like 5'8" and 300 lbs. He managed to do it, once.
