Description - Playground Player by Roger James Greer

BOOK DESCRIPTION My collection of eight self-study essays reflects my perceptions, impressions, and descriptive interpretations recorded in written memoir form. I am my own resource. As a personal resource tool, my writing content highlights action word descriptive keywords, guidelines, keys, formula, and images that serve as a valued memory visualization aid. It works for me. My essays are not predetermined to be instructional, persuasive, or journalistic, but a self-study presentation guided by basic science principles and personal experiences. BOOK EXCERPT My suburban backyard boundary measured one full acre. The well-manicured level lawn provided an excellent play arena. No fence needed. Hours and hours throughout the summer I played solitary baseball. My imagination provided the means to play made-up ball games on a made-up ball field. The rules were adapted for solitary play. A fly ball caught in the air or on the first bounce was an out. A wooden bat and a rubber ball were standard equipment. Pieces of wood or rocks marked home plate and the bases. An unmarked batter's box served its function well. I systemically displayed a naturally disciplined intensity hitting self-tossed fly balls into the outfield, fielding on the run, and throwing to the appropriate base. Indeed, I was my own batter, my own fielder, and my own scorekeeper. Only later did I understand the significance of solitary play.
