Walk-Off Fish

First "pitch" and I sent one over the wall for a walk-off solo shot.  The river wall.. And after a long game of play under the cast of night lights, various pitching changes made and designated swimmers called into action, the scored simply ended 1-0 in a home team win over the Striped visitors.  All it ever takes is one raised fish, no matter the size (or even shape!) to change the game.  A win will always be a win.

 

On a dissimilar field of dreams tonight, the Chicago Cubs pulled-off an epic series comeback, winning 3 consecutive do-or-die games over the week, taking the final game 7 of the 112th World Series with a score of 8-7 in suspenseful extra-innings.  Their historic, 108-year clubhouse dry-spell was victoriously showered in champagne, finally.  For the Cubs, it was a win unlike any other win.  A tide, however seasonally-challenging, favored in delivering destiny.  However microcosmic in comparison, it's that exact tide of favor that every fisherman who swings graphite into the night hopes to one-day find himself standing ready for.  Ready to steal his own game 7 victory from the hold of night.
