When I finally arrive at the baseball field,  it's four forty in the afternoon.  I lift up the mat in front of the dug out and grab the key that lies underneath.  

After unlocking the gate, I walk to the back.  I count each locker in the rows and rows of them until I find the one that is mine.  I open it and grab my lucky baseball mitt out.  Turning to the right, I pick a dark blue baseball helmet and place it on my head, the comforting heavy feeling sinking in.  I choose a metal baseball bat off of the racks and shuffle to the gate with my gear before parading to the batting cages to warm up.  

After setting up, I grip my bat tightly as I square my body to the ground, my knees bent.  I hear the famous KACHUNK sound of the automatic pitcher loading up the baseball.  Suddenly, a ball comes sailing toward me.  Focusing entirely on it, I swing my bat and hit the baseball with accuracy and ease.  I repeat these steps until I feel light and loosened up.  Ahhh... now for the field.
