the story of every baseball superslugger must start with a scene of a young boy playing catch with his dad
Mr. Baseball / Ichiro Suzuki: one, two-four-five, three / Mickey Mantle: one-two, three, four-five, six / Corey Seager: one-two-five, three, four, six / Field of Dreams: A Catch with Dad
#baseball web weaving#baseball rpf#ichiro suzuki#mickey mantle#corey seager#new york yankees#field of dreams#listen. LISTEN. this went places I did not intend but I am very pleased with it. I thought I could escape fathers and sons LOL#this was supposed to be about coaching but everyone's first and most influential coach is their Dad so like. FREUD WHEN I CATCH YOU#also reading the comments on that field of dreams clips already makes me cry so I can't even watch it#read the book tho don't worry. JD Salinger jumpscare#also I have decided that the Mr. Baseball account is corny but I will keep stealing their bangers#I think the Ichiro - Mickey transition is the best in terms of theme and structure#really happy I was able to find that 'I'm going to bring you back to the mines I sacrificed MY life for' quote for 'put on the field' lol#but I was too lazy to find great quotes about Seager's -> Rangers being motivated by the media market to tie to the last Mickey quote#even tho it breaks a sequential order it does get us to the field of dreams/media mythos around baseball's fathers and sons#fought for my life with the pictures but they're all facing 'forward' after the swing is done + the viewer gets further and further away 🤓#this is very text heavy but I do think it's worth it lol. bolded highlights is the way but it's such a pain in the ass lmfao#non-romantic/ship centered rpf propaganda lol..... LOL.......
