What if I’d gotten it right that day? That first time I had the chance to play that game. When I took the plate and swung and struck the ball and hit it all the way out over the fence.
When I ran for first base, then sped towards second. Why did I panic, look around and think where is third at? I couldn't see it. I couldn't find the next place and I thought to myself... the point is to get to home base. That’s where I want to be.

So, I took off across the diamond and I found myself where I had begun but everyone told me to run back. Go to second, then on to third, but I couldn’t see why I’d do something so absurd. Yet, I did what they said and then some kid found the ball and I was stalled by the third base coach and never allowed to make the most of my success.
The next kid up to bat struck out and I never got around to home base. So, I wonder what would have changed if I had gone from first to second to third and on to home base. Would my life might have spun off in an entirely different direction?
