The Sweet Spot

Can her baseball fantasy become reality, or will she strike out at love?

Rick Seno is a warrior behind the plate in his catcher’s gear. In control and calling the game for the San Diego Seals. He’d show me the same attention in my bed, if he was more than my imaginary baseball boyfriend.

I’ve worn a Seno jersey to every game since Rick became a big leaguer. It’s silly. I’m almost a decade older than him. I don’t compare to the flawless baseball skanks who wait for him at the player’s garage.

But, what am I supposed to do when the All-Star of my dreams invites me out after a game?

I can’t believe he wants me. Until tonight, I was completely content with my life. Now, I’m caught off base and I’m not sure I can make it home safe.
