The aroma of freshly cut grass filled the air at the baseball field, and Liam stretched, feeling the morning sun warm his skin. He loved the anticipation before a game, the crack of the bat, the snap of the glove. He was scheduled to pitch today, and he was sure to dominate.

"Shortstop?" Liam echoed, his voice filled with delight. He had always admired the shortstop's position. This felt like a gift. He gave a thumbs up, his feet feeling like they were barely touching the ground. He grinned, ready for anything.
