Teen Baseball

All good things must come to an end. After spending all of their free time every summer practicing and playing baseball, Malachi, Elizajane, Noah, and Elias must grow up. Playing on the magic diamond against the best players in baseball history would remain one of their greatest experiences, but the field is reserved for the young at heart only, and the big world is good at making people into adults. One Easter, when the four kids are much older and Malachi has kids of his own, they begin talking about the magic diamond they used to play on as kids.

In The Things He Could Have Been, W. Nikola-Lisa pulls back the curtain on Babe Ruth’s off-the-field shenanigans, offering the listener a humorous, yet highly informative, portrayal of the Yankee slugger. Ruth was multi-talented and, it's not really hard to imagine, could have been many things - a professional golfer, a heavyweight boxer, a movie star, a football player, just to name a few of his interests.

Malachi. Elizajane, Noah, and Elias practice their ball-playing skills every night in the park, getting ready for games on the weekend on their magic diamond. They are lucky enough to play baseball against the greatest players the game had ever seen. With dedication and hard work, the kids make a load of progress on the field. There are a few things, however, which might ensure they embarrass themselves during the games. It’s a good thing Elias and Malachi have a surprise ready. Another day, another exciting and wonderful day on the magic diamond.
