This was my first experience with Flash Fiction, but I was drawn to the story because of my love of baseball as a kid, and I am glad I gave it a chance. The Rookie took me back to a time with my own family, playing t-ball in the back yard. Then, loving the game so much, begging my dad to let me sign up for little league. They didn't let girls play with the boys back then, so I had to settle for softball, but the memories are pretty much the same. Kirkus MacGowan's tale reminded me of the bonding and friendships that were formed on the baseball field, and of the sentiments that remain with me to this day. He delivered the story so eloquently, I felt like I was there, on the field all over again. Highly recommend.CR HIATT
