Baseball Captains
Image
Two young boys are deciding whose team will bat first. In sand lot baseball, when deciding which team bats first, one player tosses a bat up in the air. A player for the other team catches it, then they walk their hands up the bat. The top hand wins. In the foreground is a baseball mitt, and in the background is a brick wall.
