The Pitch
He approaches the mound. It is a big soft brown mound responsive underfoot. He is nervous, it is obvious he is nervous. He can’t keep it together he hesitates. Oh no! The crowd are on their feet they realise he has no idea of what he is doing. Will he pull it off? He winds up. He hasn’t settled. It is not looking good. He lets loose and, he’s stuffed it. Totally stuffed it. The crowd goes wild they want his blood. This is what happened last time, they scream. Will he never learn? Emotions run riot in the fast lane.
