The Rookie
Jim Morris never made it out of the little leagues before a shoulder injury ended his pitching career twelve years ago. Currently a married-with-children high-school chemistry teacher and baseball coach in Texas, the team of Jim makes a deal with him: if they win the district tournament, Jim will try out with a company. The bet proves incentive enough to your own team, and they move making it to say for its very first time at the history of their faculty. Jim, forced to fulfill his end of this bargain, is not exactly laughed off the try-out field--until he puts on the mound, where he confounds the scouts (and himself) by clocking successive 98 mph fastballs, adequate for a minor league contract with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Jim found lots of pitches to throw before he makes it to The Show, but with his bigleague fantasies revived, there is no telling where he could proceed.
