Homerun “Katelyn you’re up!” I heard my lanky redheaded coach Kevin screech. I slid on my batting gloves that were caked in dirt‚ and tightened my helmet that was meant for a 8 year old.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms‚ I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end‚ I hold M&M duels.
