All are described in vivid detail to fire the reader's imagination, whether the view is from the bleachers, the dugout or in the midst of the action on the field. Each crack of the bat and every chase of the ball are part of the infield and outfield ballet.The iambic beat of the rhyming couplets captures all of the fast-moving action of the game.
