Shots of us playing baseball, or shoving all our hands into a small bag of potato chips, or reading tattered comic books on our front stoops. Other times the Photographer took pictures before we even saw him. Sometimes we ignored our parentsвЂ™ warning and crowded around the Photographer, jumping and cheering the way we sometimes did behind the sportscasters at Camden Yards. I wanted to look good if ever the Photographer took my picture. I made sure to stretch farther to catch throws to first base. Still, whenever the Photographer came around, I played my best. But nothing about us fifth graders on Hanover Street and our summer of baseball. TommyвЂ™s uncle mentioned in the MP report.

JeffвЂ™s neighborвЂ™s face smiles next to her opinion blurb. An Affluent leaves his fortune to go fight out West. Through profiles on local businessmen, kiosk owners, and cafГ© waitresses. Through sports scores from the teams still able to play. Through the national news and war updates. We woke early enough and searched the dumpster for yesterdayвЂ™s Worker, and every day we scanned our parentsвЂ™ newspapers. And all the best first basemen were left-handed anyways.ДЄll of us knew we probably wouldnвЂ™t be in the papers like Scott, but that didnвЂ™t make us hope any less. Too many of my throws hit the pavement and bounced away from the catcher or soared high over the batterвЂ™s head, and the catcher had to chase it down the street and that delayed the game and annoyed everybody. All the other boys wanted to pitch too, so they argued a lot late in the games about relievers. Pitching meant he got into every single play and had control over the street. Captain got first pick of position, and Scott always picked pitcher. The boys asked Scott to break ties when those happened. They elected him team captain more often, and he always picked me first. I stood out of focus in the background, unrecognizable to anyone who didnвЂ™t know I played first base.ДЇor me and my friends on Hanover Street, the photo made Scott famous. Dust puffed up under ScottвЂ™s rotating heels. The ball streaked white from the bat to the edge of the frame. The picture showed ScottвЂ™s bat blurred into a brown wedge. That, and newspapers cost more than ten dollars. Me and my friends did ignore him, playing baseball in the street like always, until a picture of my best friend Scott showed up in The WorkersвЂ™ Sentinel, a newspaper from a whole other country that we had to steal from the kiosk on Conway Street because no oneвЂ™s parents subscribed to it. My parents assured me the Revolution was far out West and wouldnвЂ™t reach Baltimore, but I should still politely ignore the Photographer because he probably worked for Affies. The PhotographerвЂ™s blue vest supposedly meant something about him being part of some international organization and not a fighter in the Revolution.
