Rounding Third

I was destined for stardom. <br />From the age of seven, I was an all-star. <br />Parents praised me, coaches worshipped me. <br />As I got older, girls begged for me. <br />I was Beltline’s baseball God, guaranteed to put this small town on the map. <br /> <br />Then, after one night, that future vanished. <br /> <br />The legend was laid to rest. <br />I gave up my scholarship. <br />I fled from Beltline. <br />I left the girl behind. <br /> <br />Now, I’m back.
