Magical Realism

...but I think it's to ask you, if you could do anything you wanted...if you could have a wish....

And you're the kind of man who could grant me that wish?

I don't know. I'm just asking.

You know, I never got to bat in the major leagues. I'd have liked to have had that chance, just once...to stare down a big-league pitcher. Stare him down, then just as he goes into his windup, wink. Make him think you know something he doesn't. That's what I wish for. The chance to squint at a sky so blue that it hurts your eyes to look at it. To feel the tingle in your arms as you connect with the ball. To run the bases, stretch a double into a triple... ...and flop face first into third. Wrap your arms around the bag. That's my wish. Is there enough magic out there in the moonlight... ...to make this dream come true?

What would you say if I said yes?
