(Author’s Note: On a “vacation” of sorts. Mostly spending time relaxing and getting some important downtime. I hope to have more stories coming up soon, but until then…here’s another Fictioneers.)

The Boys Of Summer
by Miles H. Rost
“Alright, boys. Let’s get out there and do what we do!” Coach said, as he looked into the eyes of his players.
The Keneely Knickerbockers were the #1 Junior League baseball team, for the first time in 87 years. It was a feat. Coach didn’t know how it happened, but they just started playing well this season. And now they were there, in Williamsburg, Virginia, at the Junior League Championship.
As the 16 and 17-year-old boys ran out of the tunnel, they looked to the stands. They saw the girls who traveled across the country to see them play.
They lovingly gazed at the girls who made them the Boys of Summer.
Music and Fiction 
That’s a motivator alright
I love this song and the inspiration that led you to choose it. That is indeed a major motivation.
Lovely to take a break and listen to a classic song! thanks.
Long may boys be boys and girls be girls. Lovely writing and I enjoyed the song
nice job. Now I am humming the song to myself
One of those great summer songs indeed. Lovely take on the prompt!
Now we know why… you just need the right audience to play well
Thanks for taking me to a summer ball game.
Oh summer and baseball…good times 🙂
School sport before it becomes tainted by the professional, lovely, romanyic tale
