Changing the face of playground baseball
Before you read about playground baseball, allow me to share a fictional story about a little boy who dreamt of becoming a hero… “If only I could hit the ball, it would be a cinch,” said the little boy. He was known to swing for the fences and often stared at his bat with much disgust. I’m talking about “Little Johnny Strikeout,” who dissolved in tears every time his teammates mocked him when he swung like a rusty gate. But soon things changed… One day after practice as he sat crying at a park bench, he heard a distant voice telling him not to give up. The mysterious voice offered the following advice, “Keep your eye on the ball and swing level at all times.”
