Introduction of the closer

Women are interesting creatures. They are compassionate, loving, maternal, and more importantly beautiful works of art.

Women are also very analytical, leading many to contemplate issues or moments in time far more than the average human being. But it is that nature that has led many women to contemplate the closer in their life.

In baseball, the closer is the pitcher that is brought in, usually during the seventh or eighth inning to complete the game. The closer, with all of his energy has the power to change the game. If he keeps his focus intact, knowing the goal is to finish the game, with a flawless finish, he will be man of the night. But that isn’t always the case. There are often seconds within a game, where the closer can loose complete control. These moments leave him unfocused, leading him to make mistakes, loosing control of his team and the batter. In turn, leading to the loss of the game.

All women have a closer in their life, a man who chooses to enter her life at pivotal moment; perhaps, unknowing of his true importance. He too often plays the game, like the closer, ensuring that a woman in his life feels secure, as any pitcher does in a with his team. Giving her security, no matter what happens. He chooses, like the team’s coach does, how much time he will spend and how much time he devotes. Not giving her an opportunity to decide his fate of within the game or their eventual destiny.

His fears of losing the game entirely lead him to halt the game; he is saved, just like a closer is in a rainout, postponing the game. Compassionate, caring, and loving women that understand the issue of such a closer are few and far between. Those women unfortunately are never treated as such. Forced to pause and await the game to commence because of a forced rainout that never ceases.


These compassionate understanding women deserve compassion and understanding in return and shouldn’t have to respectively stand alone, in the middle of the field awaiting their closer. Their pain is never heard, never spoken, this is their voice.
