A very interesting (late) summer read. I'm no fan of baseball, but the DunderHeads made it interesting. I love that Meredith could pitch!
Author's Response: Hello again, Luna Mystik! Long time no hear. Thanks so much for reading this. I have missed your comments!

I love, love, LOVE this series. Here's why: I think something like this could really be perfect on the show. We still have the Jim/Pam sexual tension and sweetness, yet it wouldn't necessarily ruin the show. Quite the opposite! They're together as a couple in this story, yet their interactions are still enjoyable and not overly mushy and taking away from the story. I love that Meredith gets a bigger part in this. I could totally see her shining as an athlete - maybe she could've even gone pro if her drinking hadn't overshadowed things! Also, I love the ensemble here, love how Michael has the rules totally wrong, love Phyllis playing for Bob Vance's team and Pam distracting her, and I love Angela, well, in everything she does. And, being a Pez collector myself, I love the thought of Jim straightening out all the Pez dispensers in his room. This is really one of my favorite series on here. Well done!
Author's Response: Wow. Thanks so much! I appreciate your many comments. Yeah, I've got a soft spot for Meredith, no question. I just feel that her character is so underused in the show, I'm impelled to compensate in my meager way. The ensemble is a challenge to write, but so much fun! Thanks for reviewing!

I loved this entire thing. For so many reasons. The pacing was perfect. The way you built the tension of the game and the intensity between Jim and Pam was great. Everything was so in character - I could see this as an actual episode.
And? Posting all of the chapters at once? You are kind of my hero!
Author's Response: Thanks, kells. I don't know why posting a complete story is such an innovative idea, LOL! But I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for reading!

I feel the best way to summarize my joy with this story is by reciting part of an epic poem. So, with apologies to Ernest Lawrence Thayer...
"Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is much joy in Scranton--for Jim and Pam will not strike out!"
Bravo!!
Author's Response: Wow! Wow! I'm ... extremely flattered. Thank you! Can't do better than "Casey at the Bat". I appreciate all your many comments, Cousin Mose. It was very kind of you.

I absolutely loved this. I can't even say what was my favorite bit, it's all good. Definitely one of my new favorites! :D
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I really feel you can't go completely wrong with a story if it includes baseball...or softball.

This is spectacular! :) You have everyone down, and it was just a really fun read. Plus the Jam was lovely. Nice work!
Author's Response: Wow! Thanks! Writing for the whole cast is a challenge, but it's also a lot of fun. I'm glad you enjoyed it, too!

Wow, this story left me panting. The way you built the tension of the game and the tension between Pam and Jim was just so palpable. Everything was just so physically descriptive, focusing on action and movement, it really made the read so intriguing. And really, what you did with jim and pam was just...inspiring. From the moment Jim explained how he knew what size batting gloves she wore, it just kept building.
I loved Meredith being the secret weapon and Creed being the even bigger secret. You got the dynamic completely down on a baseball field and the "pussyball" line was perfect. I really adored this story.
Author's Response: Thank you! I was trying to show Jim and Pam in a relationship but not really obvious about it, at least around the others. I don't think they'd be hanging off one another in front of Angela and Creed and Michael, but on the other hand, in those first intense months of a relationship, I imagine they'd have trouble keeping their hands off one another. So this was an experiment; glad it worked for you! Thanks for your review.

Niiiiice. I'm so glad you posted this all at once. Now I have the fanfic equivalent of a 'slurpee headache' from all the yumminess. Just the right amount of Jam mixed in with the dirt of the infield.
I could totally see Meredith being a ringer. Nice twist.
Author's Response: I don't know what it is about Meredith that compels me to write stories for/about her. Maybe I just have a soft spot for the underdog. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the story, lisahoo, and sorry about the slurpee headache!
