Full count

Greetings,
Runners on 1st and 2nd. Two outs. Full count. 55,000 negative charged cream cheese people yelling at Brian. He steps off the rubber. The rookie catcher gives him the sign. Down and low. Low down and dirty. Dirty and clean. Howie stands in menacing his weight, leveraging timber.
Play by play announcers speak drama. He hasn't had an extra base hit in the series.
The crescendo of weeping white towels, shrieks, anguish, and the pitch. They pitch insurance and insurance runs, cars, stock houses, horses escaping gravity, Formula.
The stare in. The windup. The pitch. At the knees, called 3rd strike. Howie never took the lumber off his shoulder. The catcher screams, jumps, runs to celebrate. Howie turns silent staring at 55,000 stunned people.
Their season is over. Finished. Happy Hallowed gallows. The thrill of defeat. The agony of victory.
Hello S.F. bay. Water music and multiple planes of reality.
Metta.
