Lucas goes yard

Mighty Lucas steps up to the plate and stares down the pitcher (AKA big daddy). He gives him the look that says, "Bring it old man" and taps his bat on the plate. He raises his bat into position and the ball hurls toward him. He hikes his leg into the air like a pitcher and swings with all his might. CRACK. The ball is sent deep into the outfield...all the way to the fence! Those little legs kick in and he rounds first, then second, on to third and the coach sends him. It's going to be close (well as close as you can expect with a bunch of 6 year olds) and Lucas slides into home. He's safe! HOMERUN!HOMERUN!HOMERUN! His fists are pumping in the air and his celebration begins. Way to go Lucas!

The rest of the night he referred to himself as the homerun hitter. The homerun hitter needs another scoop of ice cream. The homerun hitter doesn't want to take a shower. The homerun hitter needs a snack. On and on and on. Oh, sweet Lucas!
