...

But Flynn let drive a single, to the wonderment of all,
And Blake, the much despised, tore the cover off the ball;
And when the dust had lifted, and the men saw what had occurred,
There was Jimmy safe at second and Flynn a-hugging third.

...
(excerpt from Casey at the Bat - Thayer)

Very cool shot. I once had a ball that looked like this one.

Great shot, and it tells such a wonderful story. It fits the poem perfectly, and like Philly Rains, I have always enjoyed that poem.

Nicely done Eager. That's putting your thinking cap on to make this shot. That ragged ball is perfect too.

Thanks! Yeah, back in the old days when kids used to play outside, baseballs like this one were commonplace!

Actually I can't claim any credit for thinking this up. I was wandering around looking for "park-like" things to shoot. I climbed up onto a wooden, fort-like thing and took a couple of shots up through the open-slat roof. Then I noticed this old ball between two of the slats. I poked at it with the business end of the mono-pod and knocked it to the ground.

I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
