8 Hits, Runs, and Terrors

CHAPTER 8 HITS, RUNS, AND TERRORS HELLO, KIDS. That evening, Grabber and I watch a baseball video together just to get in the mood. It's the life of Babe Ruth. He was the greatest hitter ever. He was so famous. They even named a candy bar after him. Maybe they'll name gumdrops after me-"Hubie Beans." OH, NO!

That night I have another dream. It's the final game of the World Series. It's the bottom of the 9th inning and the game is tied. There are two outs and I step into the batter's box.

But it's a real box. A big box and someone closes the lid. It's dark. Outside, I hear "Strike one, strike two, strike three... you're out!" I hear all the fans booing. I never even saw the ball! I'M DOOMED.

OOPS! HELLO. I wake up and my head's under my pillow. It's Saturday. Time for tryouts! HELP ME! Z-Z-Z-Z-Z
