Set Position

Baseball.

A sport I grew up thinking was the worst. Like the most boring thing to exist in this world. Then I had kids, and kids change things—like the amount of patience you have to watch things that might appear slow. Any parent understands the agony it is to watch their child put a puzzle together for the first time, you want to speed things along and do it for them. This is how I felt about baseball before I had these kids of mine.

Now I’m the scorekeeper, a very anxious one at that, but a scorekeeper all the same. I hate to miss a game. I love baseball now because my kids love it. This story is about baseball and family. Shout out to The Twin Bill for accepting my first published story. You can read Set Position here.
