So cute, LNC. Mothers are always proud of their children's athletic efforts, even if they miss the ball. Your poem made me laugh, dear. I need to call you. Love, Carolyn

Reads like a winner to me..Those children are so cute playing..Reads like a winner to me..Your presence at my work brought me a ray not a stingray but a sun ray on this cloudy rainy Georgia morn..Sara

Ahhh, this is darling!! I really enjoyed when my son did this so long ago. He was their best catcher but he couldn't bat worth a darn!

I could just see Tatum O'Neal and her teammates while I read this nice little limerick. It looks like a good one.
