Summary
The loud sounds of the crowd long ago stopped phasing Lafayette when they walk to the mount. They easily drown the noise out, a cocky grin set into place as they fiddle with the blue cap resting on their head, ball gripped loosely in their other hand.
It's Lafayette’s third year as the starting pitcher for the Blue Jays, and the twenty-four year old’s fourth year playing major league all together. Despite the years of playing, every new game continues to bring a new rush with the first few moments before the game really kicks off. There's always a familiar flow of adrenaline as they look up at the crowd with a smile that's captivated the media since day one, examining the audience that accumulates in every stadium to watch the game, to watch them play. Lafayette lives for the feeling, for all the attention thrown at them.
However, none of these years of experience prepared Lafayette for the Philadelphia Phillie's new first baseman, Hercules Mulligan, and his bright smile that won't leave their head no matter what they do. (Or who.)
