Derek's Baseball Tryout

Derek was in line to try out for baseball. He was really nervous because he hadn't played ball for two years. So, he just kept saying he was gonna screw up and he just wanted to go home. When they called his number he went up to the plate. First pitch was a solid line drive to center field. Anyone who has played baseball knows the sound of a solid hit. A few people stopped talking and watched. Second pitch came and the same hit. Now everybody was watching. Third pitch, swing and a miss. Fourth pitch came in and that baby flew over the fence and almost over the second fence that lead to the other field. It was one of those hits that starts low and just keeps going!!! It was awesome. Then they put him on third and nothing got past him. He could not have had a better tryout. When he was walking away everyone was high fiving him and making some comment. He was calm, cool and collected as he walked off the field and sat in the car. When the door shut he looked at me and went nuts!!! So, i did the mature thing and said, "baby you really kicked @#* out there!!! He just laughed and said, "Yeah i did!!!" It was great!!!
