I wrote this some time ago, and then sat on it.
Grand Slam
I hit a home run once and only once in my baseball career. Everyone I knew, as well as strangers, cheered for me. I was even given a large novelty cake, shaped like a proud golden trophy, it stood up! After all the accolades were given and cigars handed out, the ball came back, at full force, and hit me square between the eyes. The thing about it is, I had left the park at that point.
