Baseball Pals (2009)
“First they had batting practice, then Mr. Nichols would hit balls to the infielders and outfielders.
While Mr. Nichols did that, Jimmie practiced pitching.
He had learned to throw a drop. He was proud of it. Now, if he could only get his fast throws over the plate … At the Friday afternoon practice Mr. Nichols called the boys together.
“I’ve scheduled a game with the Pirates for tomorrow afternoon,” he said. “Everybody be here at one-thirty. I’ll try to get a couple more games before the league starts so that we won’t plunge into it cold.”
Jimmie was up bright and early Saturday morning. After breakfast he went to Mose Solomon’s house. Mose’s mother came to the door and said that Mose was still in bed.
“Who’s that, Ma?” Mose’s voice came from somewhere upstairs.
“Jimmie Todd!” she called back. She smiled at Jimmie.
