Three days later Elgin came home early from fastpitch, looking glum.

“Have you lost it?” I asked.

He shook his head. “Maybe I should. Couple of the guys told me it really wasn’t fair anymore, that my home runs could count but they would also be outs. Otherwise, whatever team I’m on stays up too long.”

“What did Chico say?”

“Same thing. When a guy on your own team thinks you make the game too long, you start seeing what they’re saying.”

“What are you gonna do?”

“Quit, I guess.”

“Do they really want that?”

“I think they do.”

“You still have friends at school, right?”

He nodded.

“I think the fastpitch has been hurting my basement practice,” he said.

“Really? You’re having a tough time adjustin?”

“Yeah. But you know what, Momma? I have a new goal, and it’s real important to me. I want to start hitting the golf balls off the pitching machine the same way I can hit fastpitch.”

I shook my head. “Lofty goal.”

“I mean it,” he said. “I’m gonna work like crazy till I can do that. Think what that’s going to make baseball pitching seem like to me.”
