You’re in.

This is it.

What I’ve been working toward all my life.

It was my dad’s dream.

I made it mine.

Mom took me to practice every day when I was a kid.

They said I was too small.

And not fast enough.

Here I am, about to step on the sacred dirt in my hometown.

In front of family and friends.

And Kathy. Who’s believed in me since high school.

Field of Dreams.

I won’t screw this up.

I’m ready.

“Willie, did you hear me? Go in and take the urine test. And you’ll be batting seventh today.”
