One click per note
A kid at a night game won't stop rattling a toy clapper right next to Pi. So Pi starts playing along, one click per note, and the clapper becomes his drum. Then the whole stand joins in, clapping on Pi's beat. Pi lands his highest note, the batter connects, and a home run comes down toward the crowd. A hundred gloves go up. Pi holds still, then pushes one more beat, the kid swings, and the clapper's three plastic hands snap shut on the ball.
Music: the ballpark "Charge!" fanfare (traditional bugle call, public domain), own arrangement.
