If I hit into a double play right now, the game would be over.īut Flip wasn’t looking at me. I struck out in the second inning, and in the fourth I hit a weak grounder back to the pitcher. I figured there was a pretty good chance, because Flip knows I haven’t been hitting very well lately. I looked over at our coach, Flip Valentini, to see if maybe he wanted me to lay down a bunt to move the runners over to second and third. In a situation like this, a single would make me very happy. Joe Koch was on first and Clay VanderMeeden was on second. It was the sixth inning, which is the last inning in our league. I stepped up to the plate and tapped my bat against my spikes. STOSH, YOU ARE THE MAN! BRIAN WENZEL YELLED FROM our dugout. With a card in my hand, I can do something the president of the United States can’t do, the most intelligent genius on the planet can’t do, the best athlete in the universe can’t do. With a baseball card in my hand, I am the most powerful person in the world.
