THE DAD WHO COULDN'T BUY A HIT
It started out as a simple game.
Dad stepped up to the plate, adjusted his batting gloves, and took a deep breath.
He'd been waiting all week for this.
The crowd cheered.
Nova barked from the dugout.
Little Sampson sat proudly in the batboy bucket, convinced he was part of the coaching staff.
The pitcher wound up.
Dad swung.
STRIKE ONE.
The crowd gasped.
Dad looked down.
There it was.
A dog turd stuck to his cleat.
He scraped it off and stepped back into the box.
The pitcher threw again.
Dad swung.
STRIKE TWO.
What now?!
Another turd.
This one had somehow migrated directly into the batter's box.
The defensive turds were getting smarter.
Dad could feel them watching.
Waiting.
Mocking him.
The pitcher grinned.
The turds grinned.
Even the neighborhood squirrels looked concerned.
Dad stepped back in.
The third pitch came screaming toward the plate.
Dad planted his foot...
And immediately slipped.
His cleat found a hidden turd.
He spun like a confused ballerina and landed flat on his back.
STRIKE THREE.
The crowd fell silent.
Then, from beyond the outfield fence, came laughter.
Not human laughter.
Turd laughter.
The Gang Piles.
The Don of Doody himself stood atop a mountain of p**p.
"Another one falls!" he cackled.
The turd army erupted in celebration.
Dad hung his head.
How could one man keep up?
Every weekend was the same.
More p**p.
More piles.
More strikes.
More humiliation.
Then something caught his eye.
A business card.
Half buried in the grass.
Like a message from the heavens.
It read:
STRYKER'S ON DOODY
Dad pulled out his phone.
📞 307-881-2675
Within days, everything changed.
The first cleanup wiped out the Gang Piles.
The defensive turds lost their home field advantage.
The Don of Doody was sent packing.
The backyard was clean.
The grass was visible again.
The smell was gone.
The next Saturday, Dad stepped back into the batter's box.
The pitcher threw.
Dad swung.
CRACK!
The ball soared.
Gone.
Home run.
Nova lost her mind.
Sampson fell out of the batboy bucket.
The crowd erupted.
Dad rounded the bases with tears in his eyes.
Not because of the home run.
But because for the first time in years...
He could walk across his yard without stepping in dog p**p.
