plate dreaming of knocking the ball out of the park in the first game of
the season. Calmly, I steadied my batting stance and waited for the
first pitch. I heard the baseball whiz by me. Strike! When the second
pitch came, I swung hard. The crack of the bat echoed in my ears, and I
sprinted around the bases as the ball sailed toward the outfield. My

third. With a burst of speed, I dove toward the base. Just as the umpire
yelled "Safe!" I heard a loud pop. It was only a matter of seconds
before I realized that my season of baseball had ended. It was the first
inning of the first game, and I had a broken arm.
