at bat
i'm the lead off batter. garrett called poop and pee break. mom's got him. she's also on deck next. that's what i tell the umpire and the catcher. i joke that i'm gonna hit the ball and just keep on running. i pop one straight up in the air and down the third base line. it had so much spin that when it came back down it sliced right back to the catcher. she was just standing there. catch it! i said. she took a step and stabbed out her glove for the out. okay. i ran off to the bathroom to take over those duties chuckling the whole way.
