not baseball, wordball... it's the same except it's played with words instead of bases... the more eloquent, the gooder. <polvie looks to the dugout where the young don juan is chewing a wet plug. pointing with his lips in a motion toward the batter's box, coach polvo signals the magical pinch hitter, don juan matus, that his presence is requested at the plate. the crowd noise falls off in anticipation as don juan walks out slowly, stopping momentarily to sprinkle and rub a handful of powdered dirt on his bat. sweating profusely, the pitcher rotates and rubs the ball fiercely in his glove as if he were trying to squeeze the last bit of juice from an orange. he reads the catcher's sign... curve. no. he shakes it off. slider. no! he shakes it off. fastball. uh huh, he nods, spits off to the side, and begins his wind-up. by now the crowd is sitting on the edge of their seats totally consumed, knowingly excited. with all his might, with every muscle he has ever known, the older, more experienced pitcher launches the ball... The storms are raging on the rollin' sea And on the highway of regret The winds of change are blowing wild and free You ain't seen nothing like me yet I could make you happy, make your dreams come true Nothing that I wouldn't do Go to the ends of the earth for you To make you feel my love. -bob dylan, make you feel my love almost if he were ignoring the pitch, young don juan glances back toward the stands... then swiftly turns his head, body and bat... as one tool... one fluid, inseparable, all-seeing instrument making rock-solid contact with the miniature planet hurling toward the plate at 98 mph. WHACK! ...one can feel with the eyes, when the eyes are not looking right into things. -don juan matus, the teachings of don juan HOME RUN!>
