Great illustrations. After striking out a boy dreams that he is playing baseball with the moon and the stars. I guess we're just not a baseball household.
A boy plays baseball and as much as he tries cannot hit the ball. He then goes home and goes to bed. He then has a dream that he is playing with all of the stars and planets in space. He dreams that he hits a home run and is happy in his dream.
