It was close to midnight, the deadline for the state of Arkansas to execute a man found guilty of murder. Rock waited with a large group of reporters in the parking lot of the Cummins Unit of the Arkansas Department of Corrections, where the prisoner was scheduled to die by lethal injection.
One of the television anchors, Greg O'Neil, a man Rock had known since the late 1970s, opened his car trunk, which was filled with softball gloves, balls, and bats.
"Anyone interested in a game?" O'Neil said.
It was a hazy, hot afternoon, but everyone seemed eager to play.
