Spectator Post
There's a moment, before the game begins, when a baseball diamond may just be one of the most beautiful things on Earth . . . even if it's not, technically speaking, on any version of Earth.
In that moment, the grass is a lush and perfect checkerboard and chalk gleams in not-yet-smudged baselines and foul lines.
Castiel has built up a pitcher's mound, laid bases out with perfect precision, and built a backstop behind home plate. There is a bench along the first baseline for Castiel's team, another along the third baseline for Carlisle's. And at a short distance behind the benches, wooden bleachers rise for any interested spectators. (Or even any bored ones.)
The only thing missing is a outfield fence. Instead there is another line of chalk -- 338 feet from home plate along the foul lines, 410 feet from home at center field. Beyond that point, it's a home run if hit by a human, but there is no end to the outfield for the super-powered players on teams, and the outfielders may chase the ball as far as they choose.
Everything is ready, and in place for Milliways' first baseball game.
All they need now is the crowd . . .
