T'was a cloudy morning. I awoke with the smell of "Chik-fil-a" calling me; I went to eat. Soon, I was on my way to my first travel baseball game.

I arrived at the ballpark ready to play; Already stretched, and arm warm. Taking the field, I was unaware. Unaware that my second at-bat of the game would give me a memento that I would treasure like, a precious, priceless gem.

As I stepped into the batters box for my second at-bat I saw my homerun ball on the first pitch... I did not swing. Next pitch... Same perfect spot, I was all over it. I hit the day light out of the ball. It was over the fence in a second. After the game, My friend and I hunted for my treasure in the woods. Once I got home I signed it, dated it, and wrote a note; Therefore, I will forever remember the moment. This ball, this prized possession, is a token that I will cherish forever.
