In the Bronx, on the large grassy lot where we kids played baseball -- it was our Home Plate, and how many times we slid into home plate (it had a very dusty expanse of soil around its base, partly becuz of us kids -- LOL!!) under its green leafy branches.
On warm summer nights, with the full moon rising behind it, I would look out my bedroom window at this majestic tree and pretend that the Elm Tree -- aka "Home Plate" -- was really a Baobab Tree on the African Veldt. But the next day, it morphed back into Home Plate for us kids.
The tree is still there -- 50 years later -- but alas, it is dead. It still stands however, as a mute testament to all the fun us kids had playing baseball under its once-green leafy branches back in the good old days.
