The Main Point

When I was 8 years old, I batted against Sally Stokes while wearing ToughSkin jeans. I remember this vividly because I was playing in the era before Billy Jean King beat Bobby Riggs in the battle of the sexes in 1973.  Had Billy Jean beaten Bobby in 1971, I may not have been as nervous waiting on deck to be the next victim of the hard throwing girl. John, the batter before me, struck out. I remember feeling glad. I didn't want to be the only one to strike out against Sally. In the batter's box, I remember my legs shaking. I remember getting 2 strikes while my heart beat out of my chest. Luckily, I grounded out to the shortstop. I remember my first homer vividly and I remember facing Sally. The other ABs are a blur.
