The Meaning of April
April.
The first official month of softball.
The beginning of base hits, home runs, and the inevitable strikeout.
The start of spitting seeds and drinking gatorade.
The opening to the smell of fresh dirt and fresh cut grass in the stains of my uniform.
April.
The end of cold winter weather that kept us off the field.
The final stop to wrist flicking in my basement.
The last chance to start the season with a bang.
The closing of waiting for softball.
