I'm glad you captured this image, John. Being an ole softball veteran "connecting with the ball" has entered my head many times as I've pondered this month's theme. Jose nailed this one and so did you !!!! #5949092

Thanks, Charalambos, but it was really a matter of luck.

Sharon, when I saw the monthly theme this came to my mind, also. They don't call it 'connecting' for nothing!

A truly rare shot this season (a mariner winning hit). Thankfully, there's always "next year". :-) #6831641
