The Team That Stopped Moving (2009)
“Coach Banks had a different theory about this. He liked to have a good hitter at the bottom of the batting order. If he was a pitcher, the odds were that much better. If he got a hit, the leadoff batter was up next, followed by the power hitters in the lineup.
Art was such a pitcher. He could hit.
He proved it by socking the first pitch over short. Mark struck out. Then Art raced to second on Ben’s fly ball to center field, only to turn around and beat it back to first as the center fie...lder caught the fly.
Stan got up and peppered a line drive over second base, advancing Art to second. Andy doubled to right center, scoring both Art and Stan. Bears 7, Tigers 5.
“Let’s get three more!” Stan shouted from the bench. “Come on, Dick! Drive it!”
Dick straightened his helmet, then rubbed the fat end of the bat as he strode to the plate. A lot of weight was on his shoulders now.MoreLess
