Kanye West - "Bound 2"
King of the Shit Hitters. That's what they called him. AAA for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and a terrible average, but one hell of a runner. First to second before you could say "Rollins headed for the steal". He had that quiet Ripken affect, like a cowboy, out-of-place on a manicured lawn. And the women. My goodness, Garry Rollins and his women.
Third basemen aren't generally considered glamorous. They're not pitchers, and in Garry's case, they're not hitting homers either. But the women flocked to Garry like he was the first man they ever saw. Single file and in a steady stream. Garry would just nod, cap forever shading his dark eyes, all you could see were the squint lines on his temples.
These days, those squint lines were as close to a smile as Garry ever got. His career was showing banana spots, big ones, and he dreaded those runs more and more. Standing on second, he'd look over at third and all he could think was she's married she's married they're all married now.
Rollins was a great runner. Probably the greatest Scranton/Wilkes-Barre has ever seen. But all runners are stealers, and he stopped cleaning the blood off his uniform when it got stained from a slide. He would sneak it into his bag after the game so they wouldn't wash it for him. All runners are stealers, and Rollins started taking the bus cause the bus doesn't deviate from its course.

On July 1st, Sean Dunne self-releases his first feature documentary, Oxyana. The trailer is amazing, I've posted much of Sean's work in the past, I think he's a strong new voice in documentary, and I look forward to purchasing his film for download on Monday!
