The few seconds after the ball leaves the bat can be infinitely long. For this eager young player, there's plenty of time to envision the increasingly fantastic and funny situations that might interfere with making the catch. Summoning determination and courage, he overcomes the imaginary obstacles and turns them into a springboard for success.
I Got It! reveals the extraordinary within the ordinary, taking readers on an amazing journey of the imagination in a few seconds on a baseball field.
