THE NEXT 7 ARROWS HOME RUN SLUGGER
by
THE GREAT SPORTS ANANALIZER MELVIN ZWICK

The family at the Crossroads Country Ranch has added to their reputation as a baseball player producing Dynasty.


Their first player of note in this Dynasty is Kyle the home run slugger and fantastic strike out pitcher who is following in the footsteps of the great Babe Ruth.



Kyle is known as the fearsome strike out pitcher of the Mossyrock baseball team. The batters who face him quake in their baseball shoes as he winds up for his next pitch.
Kyle is an avid supporter of the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball team when all his team mates are Seattle Mariners Fans.




Now Kyle is joined by his younger brother, the next Crossroads Country Ranch super baseball player, Timothy.

This photo was taken by Chocolate Loving Momma with her new 14X optical zoom camera from the balcony of the Crossroads Country Ranch house.
Here is Timothy holding his older sister Lydia on at third base while Kyle is about to pitch to one of his sisters who is a member of his great support team . Kyle and Timothy sisters Lydia, Victoria, Caroline and Valerie who are on the field are members of the boys excellent support team.


Older sister Lydia, known for her excellent sheep herding ability, is giving Timothy baseball advice while they admire the second birthday cake of the Joseph, next son at the Crossroads Country Ranch.

As of the writing of this story Joseph has shown considerable Karate skills. Here Joseph is demonstrating his side kick against his instructor. Not bad for a two year old.


Victoria, the crash and bang kid, is giving Timothy written instructions he should follow in his next baseball game.


Timothy who is very appreciative of his sisters help is shown with his sister Valerie, also known as Huggy Bear, as she reads a thank you note he has given her expressing his thanks for her help.

The is the Little General Caroline who is known for giving both her brothers great baseball advice. She is also known to be an avid rock climber

Here he is, Timothy, the subject of this story, in all his joy about to throw out one of his sisters.
What a great photo Chocolate Loving Momma took of Timothy with her new camera set at its 14X optical Zoom setting. It shows a typical delighted All American boy in his rubber boots and holey pants throwing a baseball.
What more could this photo show? Absolutely nothing. It captures the All American theme perfectly. Congrats to a great mother and photographer.



Here is a photo of our boy wearing the cap of his favorite baseball team, the Portland Web Feet.


This photo shows the power of a 14X optical Zoom camera.
The main photo shows the lens setting at the normal range and the smaller insert shows the lens setting at 14X.
With this new camera Chocolate Loving Momma should be able to take great photos of her boys as they play baseball.


This photo shows the hazards of being in the range of Chocolate Loving Mommas 14X zoom camera. Timothy thought he could get away with goofing off for a few minutes but Momma caught him. Actually he is studying the critters that are about to steal third base.

And there you have it, another great sports story from the great sports Analyzer MELVIN ZWICK.

Dear Melvin Zwick,

Very good observations!
Yes, Timmy is turning into a very good baseball player for a big four year old! He loves to play baseball with Kyle and is getting some very good tips from him!
I love you!
love Victoria

Dear Melvin Zwick,

Very, very, creative story!! I loved it! Yes, I agree that Kyle is a wonderful pitcher and is having fun *trying to teach his little brothers the game! All of us sisters are having fun teaching them baseball, too! Some nights we play baseball in our living room but only with a soft bouncy ball and some pillows for bases!
Also, Chocolate loving momma’s camera is VERY cool in how it can zoom in so close when the subject is so far away! So, Timmy better be alert when Chocolate Loving Momma is taking pictures, or he might get caught red handed “Dilly Dallying” during an important game!

I love you soooooo much! And cannot wait to see you at Thanksgiving!

Much love,
Valerie a.k.a Huggy Bear
*(What I mean by “trying” to teach his little brothers is: Joseph does not totally get the point of baseball yet and sometimes chases Timmy around the room trying to hit him instead of the ball! And also, I think that Joseph would make a better football player since he is so “stocky!”)

Hey Melvin Zwick!
I love it, I love it, and I love it!
Even if you are not too good at making grandpa happy, Melvin Zwick, you seem to be a good sports analyzer! Awesome cut-out of Joey doing karate! That’s so cool!
My favorite picture is the one were Timmy is throwing the ball. He just looks SO happy!
I sure miss Grandpa, and am looking forward to seeing him soon! (Melvin Zwick, you NEED to stay home! No making trouble for us! I think that poor Grandpa needs a break from your constant adventures!)
Tell Grandpa that I love him SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!
Lydia

Dear Melvin Zwick,
I love all of your stories .They are very fun to read!
I love the story about Timmy playing ball. He sure does get a lot of advice about base ball with all of us kids, but mostly it is from Kyle. I really like the picture of Joey doing karate. That was cute.

I also like the story about you giving Gabriel Timothy’s pants to keep him warm, too.

I love you!

Caroline


Dear Melvin Zwick,

Yes, Timmy is following my footsteps. Soon I will not be anything compared to Timmy! I can't wait for this season of baseball!

Love you more than all the baseball caps in the world,
Kyle
