Willie Randolph and Rennie Stennett <em>both<\/em> beat me out. (I was cut for not being able to bend over, which wasn\u2019t fair; Richie Hebner made the team at third base and he couldn\u2019t bend over either.) The players had nicknames for me, like Abraham and Poet, and they treated me like a mascot. When I took batting practice, the whole team stopped whatever it was doing to watch\u2014the comedy act of the decade. The players looked at me as some sort of respite from their ordinary chores; they were curious, and they were kind enough as they teased me. Mostly, athletes are quick-witted and funny, with maybe a ten-second attention span.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/poetry\/1981\/the-warning-track-tony-sanders\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-136558 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tony-s.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tony-s.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tony-s-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tony-s-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/poetry\/1981\/the-warning-track-tony-sanders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Warning Track<\/a><br \/>\nBy Tony Sanders<br \/>\n<em>Issue no. 126 (Spring 1993)<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Baseball is the purest sport, meaning<br \/>\nballparks out in the heartland, mixing<br \/>\nfork balls and slurves, tapping<br \/>\nslow choppers in a spring rain.<br \/>\nWinter locked us out, covering<br \/>\nthe infield in aphasic snow, leaving<br \/>\nthe bases sticking out like square tubers.<br \/>\nSummer surprised us, coming over the left field fence<br \/>\nlike a shower of beer; we stopped in the entry tunnel,<br \/>\nand walked out in sunlight, into the bleachers,<br \/>\nand drank slowly, and studied the lineups \u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/7288\/hybrid-vigor-kelli-jo-ford\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-136559 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/old-ball.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/old-ball.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/old-ball-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/old-ball-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/7288\/hybrid-vigor-kelli-jo-ford\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hybrid Vigor<\/a><br \/>\nBy Kelli Jo Ford<br \/>\n<em>Issue no. 227 (Winter 2018)<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThank you, Jack.\u201d Reney had steeled herself to let him down easy.
