It was a hot dry summer July aftetnoon on a baseball field. At Queen of angels with the Santa ana winds blowing in from Right field straight across the plate., a young boy, comes to the plate with a pair of black Horn-rimmed glasses held together with a piece of adhesive tape on the center
bridge of the glasses. It was and for always will be Mikey the shark at the plate.
