The morning sun of our boyhood

After school, the classroom was cleaned extremely neatly, and the chairs were already buckled on the desk.Yin Ke finished wiping the blackboard, clapped his hands, and completed today's day-to-day work.

He was fascinated by the sound of the baseball team training outside the window, but in the end he still picked up his schoolbag and prepared to go home.As soon as he arrived at the door, Ban Xiaosong rushed over quickly, opened his hands and stopped in front of him.

Ban Xiaosong's eyes widened: "Yin Ke, go to training!"

Yin Ke shook his head: "Not today."

Ban Xiaosong was in a hurry: "You say no every day!"

Yin Ke smiled helplessly: "Because I really don't have time every day."

Ban Xiaosong said angrily: "How can it be possible that you don't have time every day! Why are you rushing home every day?"

Yin Ke looked at Ban Xiaosong silently for a moment, and then walked around Ban Xiaosong.Ban Xiaosong caught up again and stopped Yin Ke.

Ban Xiaosong grabbed Yin Ke: "The catcher is such an important position, if you don't come, how will we play the game? You have to go to training today, or speak clearly!"

Yin Ke just shook his head and said lightly, "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry! I will never let you go today. Why don't you go to training? There must be a reason!"

Yin Ke was a little impatient, but remained polite: "Xiaosong, I really don't have time to participate in training recently." Then he paused, gritted his teeth and said, "You should find someone else to be your catcher."

Ban Xiaosong's eyes widened in surprise, and he was speechless for a long time.Yin Ke avoided his gaze, stopped looking at him, and walked straight forward.Ban Xiaosong stood where he was, digesting Yin Ke's words in a daze.

"After such a long time, you haven't changed at all, and you are still so angry." Wu Tong's angry voice sounded from behind.Yin Ke's body swayed slightly and stopped.

Wearing a baseball uniform, Wu Tong approached the two, with a gloomy expression on his face: "I am selfish, I never care about what I promise to others."

Yin Ke seemed to remember something, his fair face became paler, he turned around slowly, and looked at Wu Tong coldly.

Wu Tong roared angrily: "You promised to join the baseball team, but now you regret not coming to the training, what do you think of the baseball team?!"

Yin Ke sneered: "I go back on my word? You were the ones who dragged me in with shamelessness."

Wu Tong flushed with anger: "If you agree, you must train hard!"

Yin Ke bit his lip: "What right do you have to order me? Do you think the whole world revolves around your baseball team! I don't need you to interfere with what I want to do."

Yin Ke turned around and walked forward quickly without looking back.

Wu Tong turned around angrily and walked in the opposite direction, his hands tightly clenched into fists, and the passing students were frightened to detour when they saw his appearance.

At this time, Qingcheng came from Yin Ke's direction.Seeing tears welling up in Yin Ke's eyes, she asked, "Yin Ke, what's wrong with you?"

Yin Ke didn't reply to her, but walked straight.

Qingcheng saw Wu Tong walking away with his back to him, and Ban Xiaosong standing there with an anxious expression on his face, and was really stunned.

Ban Xiaosong stood there for a while, looked at Wu Tong, then at Yin Ke, and said to himself in confusion: "What should I do..."

Qingcheng walked up to Ban Xiaosong and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

……

Yin Ke returned home with heavy steps, and opened the door with his key. The baseball key chain was still hanging on his key.

As soon as the door opened, my mother sat on the sofa as usual, as if waiting for him to come back.Yin Ke glanced at his mother expressionlessly, and went straight to his room.

Yin Ke's mother called to stop Yin Ke: "Stop! Why are you back late today?"

Yin Ke said coldly: "I was on duty today, and I was late after school." After speaking, he continued to walk into the room.

Yin Ke's mother was dissatisfied with Yin Ke's indifference: "Yin Ke, what's your tone?"

It happened that Yin Ke's father came out of the kitchen with the fried dishes and acted as a "peacemaker": "I'm back, go wash your hands and eat."

Yin Ke's mother said sharply, "Don't interrupt. Yin Ke, where did you go today?"

Yin Ke was annoyed, but he still restrained himself and said, "I didn't go anywhere!"

Yin Ke's mother immediately stood up: "Are you talking back to me?!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yin Ke's father hurriedly persuaded him: "The child may not be in a good mood today..."

Yin Ke's mother turned a deaf ear: "Yin Ke, where have you been today? Did you play baseball again?"

Yin Ke yelled uncontrollably: "I promised you not to play baseball anymore, what else do you want!"

Yin Ke's mother never expected that Yin Ke would yell at her, she didn't react for a while, and froze in place.Yin Ke's father shouted loudly: "Yin Ke! Who allowed you to talk to mother like this!"

Yin Ke pursed his lips and remained silent.Yin Ke's mother was so excited that she couldn't control her voice: "I didn't let you play baseball, did I hurt you?! Look at your monthly exam results, how dare you say that you are not affected by baseball? Let me tell you, you Now besides studying, I just study, so what are you thinking about!"

Yin Ke couldn't bear it anymore, and threw his schoolbag to the ground: "Learning and learning, you only see learning! Have you considered my feelings? Have you asked me what I think? I have listened to your words and given up baseball. What are you still doing?" What do you want me to do!"

Yin Ke's mother was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling, pointing at Yin Ke: "What's your attitude?" Yin Ke turned his eyes away from his parents, and walked quickly to the door.

Yin Ke's father turned pale in shock: "Yin Ke!" Yin Ke's mother was extremely angry: "What are you going to do! Come back to me! If you have the ability, if you leave this family, don't come back for the rest of your life!" Yin Ke ignored it and directly walked out.The door was slammed shut with a "bang", shaking Yin Ke's mother's body as if shaking.

After the quarrel with Yin Ke during the day, Wu Tong always felt that something was wrong, and felt that it was necessary to talk to Yin Ke.

Walking out of the house, he saw Qingcheng walking towards him.Qingcheng asked anxiously, "What happened to you and Yin Ke today?"

Wu Tong replied coldly: "It's nothing, just some small disputes." Qingcheng obviously didn't believe it.

"Where are you going?"

"Find Yin Ke."

Qingcheng looked at him puzzled.

"If you want to come, come with me."

"it is good."

When they came to Yin Ke's community, Wu Tong looked at the faded keychain in his hand, pursed his lips, and mustered up the courage to continue walking towards Yin Ke's house.

Suddenly, the door of Yin Ke's house opened, and the panicked figures of Yin Ke's parents appeared in front of them.Qingcheng shouted in surprise: "Uncle and aunt, what's the matter with you?" The two stopped anxiously, looked at Wu Tong and Qingcheng, Yin Ke's father paused, and felt that the people in front of him were somewhat familiar: "You are... Yin Ke's classmate?"

The two nodded, and Yin Ke's father asked again: "Is Yin Ke with you?"

Qingcheng and Wu Tong were stunned, and Qingcheng said: "We are here to find Yin Ke." Now, Yin Ke's parents looked even more flustered.

Wu Tong asked: "What's the matter? Did something happen to Yin Ke?"

Yin Ke's father had no choice but to say, "Yin Ke ran away from home!"

Wu Tong and Qingcheng were so surprised that they raised their voices: "What? Yin Ke ran away from home?" Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps behind him, and Tao Xi, who received a call from Yin Ke's father for help, appeared in front of everyone, panting. in sight.

Tao Xi asked breathlessly: "How is it? Is there any news?" While speaking, Wu Tong and Qingcheng were also there, "What are you doing here? It's late at night, hurry home!"

Wu Tong didn't speak, and seemed to be thinking about something.Yin Ke's father looked anxious, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Mr. Tao, Yin Ke has been away from home for several hours, and he has not answered the phone call yet!"

Tao Xi immediately said: "Then let's go find it separately!" Yin Ke's parents nodded and hurriedly ran outside the community.

Tao Xi told while running: "Wu Tong, hurry up and go home with Qingcheng!" After watching their backs go away, Wu Tong took out his mobile phone and kept sliding on the map, and finally settled on a coordinate position without moving Yes, he glanced at Qingcheng, then put away his mobile phone, took Qingcheng to the outside of the community and hailed a taxi.

Tao Xi ran to the intersection, and Yin Ke's parents also came over.Tao Xi stretched his legs and panted for a while: "I ran all around your community, but I didn't see anyone."

Yin Ke's father also said anxiously: "We asked the security guards, and it was true that he went out. I called and asked about where he might have gone, and they said I didn't see him."

Tao Xi comforted Yin Ke's parents: "I'll find a few more friends to help me. I'll go to Shinan to have a look, and then go to the central square. Yin Ke is very reassuring on weekdays. If anything happens, don't worry too much."

Yin Ke's mother cried out anxiously, and said with red eyes, "Of course you don't worry if it's not your own child!"

Yin Ke's father hugged Yin Ke's mother to comfort him, "Teacher Tao is also thinking of us..."

Yin Ke's mother broke down emotionally, broke away from Yin Ke's father's arms, and pointed at Tao Xi angrily: "I think it's your teacher's problem! When you were not Yin Ke's class teacher, you didn't see what baseball team he was going to join! The grades are not bad! You messed up when you came here, but this time it’s good, Yin Ke talked back to me for the first time, and even ran away from home..."

Yin Ke's mother's voice became lower and lower, she choked up, and her tears kept flowing.Yin Ke's father hurriedly apologized to Tao Xi: "Teacher Tao, Yin Ke's mother is too anxious, and what she said is all angry, don't take it to heart."

Tao Xi scratched his head in embarrassment: "I understand your feelings, I will find a way to find a way. You go home and wait, maybe he will go home after going out to relax."

Yin Ke's father nodded: "Okay, let's call." Tao Xi took a deep breath, turned around and trotted away.Not long after he ran out, he looked back at Yin Ke's parents worriedly, sighed, turned around again, and ran away again.

After getting out of the taxi, Wu Tong led Qingcheng over the fence and walked along the familiar road to the playground.This is Sino-Canada Junior High School.

Qingcheng stopped suddenly, and Wu Tong was puzzled: "Why don't you leave?"

"This is a matter between you, I don't want to interfere, Yin Ke should be here, you go, I think, he would rather just tell you alone."

"Okay, then you wait for me here."

Qingcheng nodded.

Walking in slowly, Wu Tong's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated when he came here. In the past years, the shining days of the Silver Eagles, the days of fighting side by side with Yin Ke and other teammates, blowing towards his face like the night wind, It made him feel a little out of breath.

He stood on the edge of the playground and looked in.Sure enough, there, where they used to exercise and run, sat a lonely figure.

He walked towards the figure.Approaching, he took out a keychain from his pocket and threw it on the figure's back.Yin Ke was awakened from his meditation, and something hit him on the back.He lowered his head and found that the thing that hit him was a baseball-shaped keychain, which was exactly the same as the one on his own key.

Yin Ke turned his head stiffly and saw Wu Tong walking towards him.Wu Tong approached with his hands in his pockets, motioned to him for the keychain, and asked, "What's going on?" He meant many things: Why do you still have the baseball keychain?Since you don't play baseball anymore, why do you treasure it all the time?What happened when you ran away from home?Leaving Ban Xiaosong like that alone and not wanting to join the Cubs, what's going on?

Yin Ke understood all of Wu Tong's questions from Wu Tong's eyes, but he didn't answer immediately.After a long time, he seemed to ask himself and Wu Tong: "Do you understand yourself?" Wu Tong frowned, not understanding Yin Ke's meaning.

Yin Ke didn't need Wu Tong's answer either, he began to confide in his own way, he needed to confide so much after so many silent and depressing days and nights.And Wu Tong, even after such a long misunderstanding, is still the most suitable object. "I was sitting here just now, and I kept thinking, who the hell am I mad at? My mother? I'm angry at her for manipulating my life, forcing me out of the Silver Eagles, and now not allowing me to join the Cubs? Or Ban Xiaosong and you, have been forcing me to put me in a dilemma?"

Wu Tong understood a little bit.Yin Ke's incomprehensible actions in the past and now are not from his heart.But... for mother, is this reason really sufficient?

Yin Ke's train of thought seemed to be exactly the same as that of Wu Tong, and continued: "Angry at my mother? If I really don't want to, can she really force me? If I try to communicate with her, she is not the kind of unreasonable Mom. Angry at you and Komatsu? If I didn't really want to join the Cubs, what would you do to put so much pressure on me? No, not at all. I'm angry at myself. You know what, Wu Tong, I often envy you and Xiaosong's determination. It seems that you all know what you want. But I don't know, or I'm not sure."

Yin Ke said quietly, with the night as a barrier, it is easier to take off the mask and face his own heart: "My mother asked me to withdraw from the Silver Eagles. Although I was reluctant, I was afraid that I would miss the entrance to higher education as she said. ;I have been preparing for the senior high school entrance examination for so long, and when it was time for the examination, I was afraid of going to a key high school and living a life where I had no time to catch my breath except for studying; Studying, I want to try again for the college entrance examination; seeing Komatsu rebuilding the Cubs, my inner baseball dream was awakened again..."

Yin Ke hugged his head, curled up in pain: "Willing, willing, these two words, why is it so difficult. I can't learn to give up, how can I get it..."

Wu Tong looked at Yin Ke, and after a long time, he said softly: "Yin Ke, I once saw a saying that people get entangled because of happiness."

"happiness?"

"Yes. People who have choices will be entangled, and those who have choices are also happy. Like Ban Xiaosong, he never entangles because he has no choice. Baseball is his destiny. And I never entangle because I don't There is no family who is anxious to plan for me, nor is there a mother who is by my side every day and cares about me."

"Your mother hasn't come back from America yet?" Wu Tong shook his head.Yin Ke was silent.

Qingcheng, who was waiting for Wu Tong outside the door, received a call.Tausi?

"Qingcheng, why don't you call Yin Ke and ask Yin Ke, you have a good relationship on weekdays, you can call him and try."

Qingcheng was silent, Wu Tong didn't come out, Yin Ke must be inside, after hesitating a few times, she said: "Wu Tong and Yin Ke are in the middle school, you and your uncles and aunts come here." After all, we can't let the elders worry too long.

"Okay, we'll be right over."

Suddenly, Wu Tong took out a pair of baseball gloves from his bag and threw it to Yin Ke: "Hey, go on!"

Yin Ke was taken aback for a moment, but reflexively caught the glove, put it on, and caught a float thrown by Wu Tong without hesitation.After all, they were once the most harmonious pair of pitcher and catcher.

Wu Tong and Yin Ke looked at each other and smiled, with just one movement, everything that was familiar seemed to come back.Yin Ke threw the ball to Wu Tong, and while throwing it again, Wu Tong said: "Yin Ke, don't be angry with your mother, and don't be angry with yourself. Life is very long, sometimes you can't see the way forward and you will be entangled. It's normal, and the best way is to go on in big strides!"

Yin Ke's mood improved a lot, and he was in the mood to joke again, and said to Wu Tong: "I will obey you when it comes to chicken soup."

Wu Tong also smiled: "What kind of chicken soup, how about Zhen soup? Your baseball level has regressed too much, you should practice more!"

"Where is there a regression, you first throw a ball that I can't catch and then talk!"

Facing the moonlight like this, the teenagers played and laughed on the grass, leaving behind all misunderstandings and loneliness.Because for them, as important as dreams, probably only friendship.

Suddenly, the sound of messy footsteps came from a distance, interrupting their play.Yin Ke's parents and Tao Xi ran over quickly. "Yin Ke!" Yin Ke's father called out to his son, and Yin Ke's mother felt a pain in her heart when she saw Yin Ke's smiling face clearly.Yin Ke, who was still smiling just now, immediately suppressed his smile when he saw his mother, and regained his indifference. Standing on the playground, he looked coldly at his parents who were walking towards him.

Yin Ke's mother choked for breath, and held her chest with her hands.Yin Ke's father rushed up quickly and hugged Yin Ke: "Son, are you okay?" Yin Ke shook his head.Yin Ke's mother approached Yin Ke, but Yin Ke took a step back subconsciously, and Yin Ke's mother stopped in place.The mother and son looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

Yin Ke's mother looked at him for a few seconds, moved her lips and said, "Come home with me." Then she turned around and left first, her waist, which was usually straight due to her dancing habits, seemed to be bent a lot.Yin Ke still didn't move, Yin Ke's father gently pushed Yin Ke's shoulder, and Yin Ke started to follow up with his mother.

Yin Ke's father rubbed his hands together, thanking Tao Xi and Wu Tong again and again: "I'm sorry to trouble you today, Teacher Tao, I will thank you well some other day... And Wu Tong, you have worked hard at night, you should go home early too, Don't let your family worry." After speaking, he said goodbye in a hurry, and hurried to catch up with his wife and son.

Tao Xi and Wu Tong watched the family of three leave, feeling very uncomfortable.

At the gate of Zhongjia, Yin Ke's family saw Qingcheng who was blown into a mess in the cold wind. Yin Ke's father called Qingcheng, and when he heard someone calling his name, Qingcheng turned around immediately.

Qingcheng saw the silent Yin Ke for the first time, and she looked at Yin Ke worriedly, but Yin Ke's eyes kept pounding down.

Yin Ke's father said: "Qingcheng, thank you for today, it's very unsafe for you to be outside as a girl at night, go back early."

Qingcheng replied to Yin Ke's father very politely: "Thank you uncle, then take Yin Ke and go back quickly."

After saying goodbye to Yin Ke's family, Tao Xi's plan to send Qing Cheng and Wu Tong home was rejected.

"No, we can go home by ourselves." Wu Tong coolly refused.This made Tao Xi very embarrassed.

"Teacher Tao, we can just go back by ourselves. Besides, your car can't fit three people. Thank you." Although Qingcheng politely refused, Tao Xi felt inexplicably embarrassed.

On the way home, Wu Tong told Qingcheng some of Yin Ke's worries, but he didn't tell them all.Qingcheng's heart throbbed a bit. Is there anyone else who can understand Yin Ke's oppression during this time better than Xia Qingcheng?Wasn't he once the same as Yin Ke?No, even, there may be more oppression than Yin Ke.

Qingcheng also learned that Yin Ke's mother's sudden oppression of Yin Ke all came from the results of this monthly exam.Qingcheng suddenly felt a little self-blame in her heart, it couldn't be because of her own reasons, right?

Wu Tong also told her that the smile on Yin Ke's face when he played baseball with him just now was very happy, but Qingcheng saw that it was indeed Yin Ke's dull face, so it couldn't be because of him again, right?

Qingcheng became paranoid and couldn't sleep all night.

After Tao Xi got home, he also had a sleepless night, thinking a lot.

In the early morning of the next day, the hands of the clock pointed at 06:30, and the quilt on the bed had been folded as usual and placed neatly on the head of the bed.Yin Ke adjusted his school uniform in front of the full-length mirror, opened the door and went out.

The family of three sat together and ate breakfast quietly. During this time, Yin Ke's father winked at Yin Ke's mother several times, but Yin Ke's mother avoided her eyes and remained silent.Yin Ke's father sighed helplessly, not knowing what to say.Neither Yin Ke nor his mother spoke, as if all their attention was on eating breakfast.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was silent, and both sides were deadlocked without making any concessions.Yin Ke didn't eat much breakfast, stood up, picked up his schoolbag and walked towards the door, opened the door, and left without looking back.

As soon as Yin Ke's figure disappeared, Yin Ke's mother also put down the fork, crossed her arms and sulked.Yin Ke's father comforted his wife while persuading him, "Why are you angry with the child?"

Yin Ke's mother yelled at him: "Is it a trivial matter to run away from home?"

"It's wrong for children to run away from home, but our education methods are indeed unreasonable..."

The two were talking about their children's education when the doorbell rang suddenly, and Yin Ke's father got up and opened the door: "Who could it be so early..." Standing outside the door was Tao Xi.

He changed his usual idleness, and said to Yin Ke's mother in a very serious tone: "I want to talk to you about Yin Ke."

A moment later, Tao Xi and Yin Ke's parents were sitting on the sofa in the living room, with steaming tea on the coffee table.Tao Xi kept silent, thinking about how to say it would be more acceptable to the other party.He knows that Yin Ke's parents are standard intellectuals. They value academic performance and their children's self-discipline, but it is easy to ignore the matter of "happiness".

For Yin Ke, he got to know Yin Ke relatively late, but once he understood Yin Ke's heart, he immediately felt a heartache that empathized with him.

Before he could make up his mind, Yin Ke's mother spoke first: "Teacher Tao, I thought about it for a long time last night, and I don't think I was wrong. My education method may be a bit harsh, but it's not wrong. Yin Ke's excellence and our Disciplining him is closely related, and you should be very clear about this. Parents have the mentality of hoping that their son will become a dragon, and I hope my son is the best. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Tao Xi nodded: "Of course there is nothing wrong." Then he changed the topic, "But you put too much pressure on Yin Ke. Yin Ke has already achieved 120 points, but you asked him to achieve [-] points, which is too much. It's hard to be human."

Yin Ke's mother insisted on her own educational principles: "If you suffer a little bit now, you will have a better road ahead. Yin Ke will understand this truth when he grows up."

Tao Xi asked back: "The future is very important, but isn't it important now? Have you ever seen Yin Ke happy?"

Yin Ke's mother was stunned for a moment because of his question, recalling Yin Ke's smile, her heart began to tremble, but she deliberately asked: "Teacher Tao, what do you mean by that?"

Tao Xi expressed his heart sincerely: "Have you asked him about his hobbies and what he wants to do in the future? Children also have their own ideas, and you can't impose your expectations on him. Yin Ke has always I'm pretending, I've never seen him really smile. But last night when we found him and Wu Tong at Zhongjia Junior High School, you also saw that he smiled happily when he was playing baseball, that's what he sent A smile from within."

His words silenced Yin Ke's mother for an instant.Tao Xi strikes while the iron is hot: "You want your son to become a success, I can understand. But don't you want your son to live a truly happy life? An excellent child can also be a happy child. This is not contradictory."

At this time, Yin Ke's father, who had been listening by the side, also said: "Teacher Tao is right. I feel distressed when I see Yin Ke doing exercises until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening every day. But he never complains." , This child is too thoughtful!" Tao Xi and Yin Ke's father stopped talking and looked at Yin Ke's mother together.

Yin Ke's mother sat on the sofa in silence, looking touched.Isn't the mother's heart just to hope that the child can live happily?The reason why he is asked to work hard today is also to hope that he can live a smooth and happy life in the future.

But for future happiness, let Yin Ke live in unhappiness now, is it really worth it?Maybe she should think about the balance between the two and let go appropriately.

Yin Ke walked silently on the way to school with his schoolbag on his back, and when he was about to walk out of the gate of the community, a familiar figure appeared at the gate of his own community.She didn't seem to just pass by, she could feel that she had been waiting here for a while, and he just called out to the other party: "Qing...", the phone in his pants suddenly vibrated, Yin Ke took out the phone and saw the phone on the screen. Displays "Mom".

Yin Ke hesitated for a few seconds, then picked up the phone and put it to his ear, but did not speak.After a while, the corners of Yin Ke's mouth gradually turned up, revealing the dimples around his mouth: "Thank you, Mom!"

After hanging up the phone, he walked towards the figure, and before he could speak, the other party saw him.

Qingcheng saw Yin Ke approaching, and immediately stood up straight: "Yin Ke."

Yin Ke asked softly, "Why are you here?"

"I, wait for you."

After Yin Ke heard this sentence, a gleam of happiness flashed in his heart, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

Qingcheng didn't notice Yin Ke's expression, but said timidly: "Yesterday, it's because I don't want my uncles and aunts to worry for too long. I can feel that they were really anxious yesterday, so..." Qingcheng was still immersed in last night. thing.

Yin Ke was slightly stunned, then quickly reacted, and smiled gently: "You misunderstood, in fact, I am not unhappy. After telling all the words in my heart yesterday, I felt relieved. It's just that my mother and I talked yesterday. There are some misunderstandings that have not been resolved."

Qingcheng pursed her lips and asked, "What about now?"

"I won't be absent from baseball training in the future."

Qingcheng pursed her lips and smiled, then thought of something, and put away her smile.Now that the matter between Yin Ke and his mother is resolved, will the matter between her and her father never be resolved?

Yin Ke saw that Qingcheng's expression was a bit heavy, and asked softly, "Qingcheng, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing, let's go to school"

After Yin Ke formally participated in training, he immediately became the soul of the baseball team just like Wu Tong and Ban Xiaosong.

During the training interval, Yin Ke took an iPad to analyze tactics for the players: "Look, his move."

Joule curled his lips: "The base stealing action is so obvious!"

Yin Ke shook his head: "You are wrong. His main purpose is not to steal bases, but to distract the pitcher. Generally speaking, the obvious base stealing action is mainly for the opponent's pitcher to see, so that he can't put all his energy into it. Put it on the pitch. That's the mental game that comes out of stealing bases."

The team members all exclaimed: "Wow! So profound! So powerful!"

With such a powerful military strategist, everyone has more confidence in the future of the Cubs.
