My Prose / poem "A Season....Spring 1970" "Four Doubles Were Not Enough" is in my poetry book "The Journey Through My Life"....

 "A SEASON....SPRING 1970"

"FOUR DOUBLES WERE NOT ENOUGH"

 

Unfortunately the high point

Of my sophomore school year

As a part of our gym class

Was when we played softball

One day in the spring of 1970

And I hit four doubles in one game

I had siz runs batted in

Not to mention I scored three

To account for nine runs scored

The other team only scored six runs

We won the softball game 

By the score of 18 - 6

Afterwards my teammates

Said to me, what, no homeruns

Yes it was the highlight

Of my worst school year

But a game, i'll never forget

A good memory. My eyes were going bad and I didn't have glasses, so I could only hit grounders. I only played hardball and only a couple of summers. Our team captain was our pitcher and not a very good one. I pitched five times that summer, won three games, and on my best day, pitched a no-hitter.
