Just like a big leaguer

Among mementos that surfaced from Dad and Mom’s stash of kids’ stuff a few years back was this rosin bag. If I’m not mistaken, it dates back to my Little League days in the mid-Sixties. Wow. I pitched sometimes, and recall feeling like a big leaguer when I reached for the rosin, gave a few shakes and tossed it again to the edge of the mound. My mitt from those days is long gone, a hand-me-down that served our family well. Probably time to toss the rosin bag for the last time, too.

About Photographer Steve Berentson

A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
