1084. Who's on First?

High hit...
the boy sprints to first,
bat in hand.

Link with 1083: Bat.

[I do not play much baseball these days but when I was a lad it was a daily thing during the Summer. I recall when I first started learning how to play I had a hard time remembering I was supposed to drop the bat when I succeeded in hitting the ball.]

I played softball. Known to lug it along, too.

Bats and baseball bats - both hard to come across here... But I still remember my childhood attempts at catching a bat by sticking a broom in the air in the hope that it would run into it and drop down...!:)

Sounds like a sure fire way to be safe at first.
