While on deck, Dave began to daydream... The summertime had finally come for guys like him. The smell of the grass, the chalk line, the warmth of the air beckoned one more time, to step between the lines and win. This was Church League Softball, one more chance for Dave to wipe out some of his past failures. The game featured the two best teams in the league, and Dave didn't just want to win, he wanted to beat the tar out of 'em! You see, this game was against his longtime rival and nemesis, Brock Stanton. Dave's train of thought was broken by that all too familiar voice, Well, if it ain't the strikeout king himself. How you doin', Janzen? I'll give you some credit, at least you showed up for the game. I don't know exactly why. You can't beat us - never have, never will. Dave Janzen has been through quite a lot, and just like millions of other washed-up athletes and weekend warriors, the softball diamond was a welcome retreat. Sports can teach a person a lot about themselves, but it can also teach them a lot about God. This is Dave's journey.
