And though my head felt heavy,

I played on till dusk

Missing flies and pop-ups and grounders

And calling out in desperation things like

“Yours” and “take it,” but doing all right,

Tugging at my cap in just the right way,

Crouching low, my feet set.

“Hum baby” sweetly on my lips.

Answer:

The version with vivid language is more interesting. I can see the main character playing the game and hear him shouting. I can feel the pain in his forehead and the tugging at his cap. The language connects with my senses in a way that makes the story seem real.
