The story really got me in. It was short, sharp and dsaid it all. It got me thinking, will Ricky develop his ball-hitting skills and be up there with Johny, or with his knowledge of stats, be one of the "Fourth Estate."
If I think that way, you, the author have fone your job. Well done. :)

A nice twist on an old hat character. Most stories make out the old ladie looking out the window as a bad case. I happy to see her portrayed with court and good humor. What a souvenir, an indentation in the wall.

This was definitely a positive spin on an accidental circumstance. It's interesting that Judy wasn't upset. Most people I know are so wrapped up in themselves that their anger would have prevailed. JW

As a mother of boys this short story rings true in so many ways. I have even had bats break storm doors as they shut the main door and the wind blew the storm door into the bat they were holding. This is a very good short story. Good luck with your poem.

Comment from Dawn Munro
Oh Debbie, I LOVE this sweet story! I have only one small suggestion - in the first paragraph you use some variation of 'watch' three times - perhaps changing one to 'gazed' or eyed' or something similar would be a bit better. This is a heartwarming story, well-crafted, and there isn't another thing I would change. Excellent!

I think you've done well with this as a story. Read nicely and smoothly too. Like the person of Judy for not flaring up at this event. Good post.

My first homerun went through a neighbors windshield, costing my mother $15. Does that tell you how long ago it was? (LOL) This is very well written.
