The poem, "Black Hair by Gary Soto describes a boy who had and probably still has a love and passion for baseball. Many images throughout this poem support this fact.

The third image, "…in my mind I rounded the bases with him, my face flared, my hair lifting/Beautifully" again as in the first image shows me how he really puts himself in the game. He feels like a team player and maybe...
