What was I supposed to do?

He was cursing and screaming;
My pitcher was scared.
I thought he was going to charge like a raging bull,
Who could blame him? I mean we do wear red.

But I had to protect the young guy,
I got up out of my crouch and defended him,
With a forceful smack I shoved my glove in his face,
Called him a bum and told him to get his rear end to first base.

He said something to me,
I told him to be quiet,
I shoved him with the force of a million men
Just another fight in baseball,
Just another story.

My writer's workshop teacher required everyone in my class to sumbit one piece of our writing to your magazine and this was my best piece that I chose to submit.
