Zach and his older brother, Josh, love baseball! On summer days they sprint off through their backyard gate, toward the school field’s worn down dirt mound, where Josh pitches and Zach runs the bases. They let their imaginations run wild, visualizing themselves playing in the Majors and imitating the cheers of the crowd. Zach’s speed and skill in getting in and out of pickles is admired by his teammates, and soon he is daydreaming of playing Major League ball at Fenway Park, where the announcer introduces him onto the field as, “Zach the pickle man!”
