Baseball

One hot summer day a boy named Jimmy who had just moved into town wanted to play play baseball. His mom called the baseball team and asked if they would be willing to let Jimmy play on the team. Coach Taylor said it was to late. Jimmy's mom had no idea what she was going to tell him. The next day she knew she had to do the right thing by telling Jimmy that he was not able to play this year. Jimmy didn't take things to well. He ran to his room and buried his face in his pillow. Jimmy's mom felt awful. The next day Jimmy had asked a boy named Carl who lived in his neighborhood if his team had practice any time soon. Carl answered; "Well we have a practice tonight and our first game is in 3 days."

Jimmy asked if he could go with Carl to the practice tonight. He wanted to show coach Taylor that he was an amazing athlete. Jimmy thought he would sure enough ask for his assistance for the rest of the year. After Jimmy gathered all his stuff for the practice, he started walking over to Carl's. The coach watched Jimmy as he played and was astonished by his effort and ability to play ball. Coach Taylor told him he could be on the team. Jimmy ran home to tell his mom the good news and was tremendously happy! He couldn't help but think how fun his upcoming game would be.
